<p class="MsoNormal">We’ve had a few users ask what a statewide Agency filter would look like in Power BI. There are several ways to approach it, but here’s the method we recommend.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When running a statewide query in Power BI Desktop, start by creating an
<b>Advanced Filter</b> using the <b>“is equal to”</b> option. After Power BI generates the filter code, you can manually adjust it to use
<b>greater than ( > )</b> and <b>less than ( < )</b> operators to capture the full range of agency values.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since the Agency field is stored as <b>text</b>, Power BI doesn’t offer a built‑in
<b>between</b> option for filtering, which is a bit limiting. The workaround is to create the initial filter and then modify the logic, so it behaves like a numeric range.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Filter example within the Power Query Editor section: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ligatures:none"><img width="447" height="206" style="width:4.6583in;height:2.1416in" id="Picture_x0020_4" src="cid:image001.jpg@01DCBD24.A8E9A8F0"></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Adding <b>greater than</b> and <b>less than</b> functionality to the code line:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ligatures:none"><img width="633" height="46" style="width:6.5916in;height:.4833in" id="Picture_x0020_3" src="cid:image002.jpg@01DCBD24.A8E9A8F0"></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This runs fairly quickly and produces the results you’re looking for. Naturally, you’ll still need to apply additional filters to refine the dataset further.<o:p></o:p></p>

<b>Subject:</b> [Datamart-News] Important update: New safeguard for accounting event table queries<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Datamart users,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We want to make you aware of a new safeguard we will be putting in place to help maintain the stability and performance of the DAS Financial Datamart environment.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Beginning <b>April 6</b>, we will implement a script that automatically stops any queries running against the
<b>accounting event tables</b> (All, Active, Archive) if they do not include an <b>
agency filter</b>. These tables are extremely large and resource-intensive, and unfiltered queries have been causing performance issues for users on a statewide level.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What this means for you:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">If you run a query against the accounting event tables without specifying an agency, your query will be stopped automatically.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">To avoid interruptions, please ensure that all queries against these tables include an appropriate agency filter. (Statewide query filter example: Agency between 000 to 999)<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have questions or need help adjusting your queries, feel free to reach out.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for your cooperation, <o:p></o:p></p>
