<p class="MsoNormal">The following tip may seem simple; however, it can really help OBIEE queries run faster.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Tip:</b> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Whenever you are creating an analysis (query), you must include
<u>all filter fields</u> in the ‘selected columns’ section. You do not have to use all the fields on your Reports/Tables/Pivots (they can be excluded from view); but the field must be included as a selected column.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the case below, four filters were used, therefore, all four need to be on the selected columns area. If even one is not, the query will run much slower.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Example: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Selected column area:<o:p></o:p></p>
