Using Wild Cards in Dynamix AX 2012 Filters

Dynamics AXUSING WILDCARDS FOR ADVANCEDFILTERING Sometimes you don’t want to see all of your data, so you want to be able to filter. Simple filtering and searching is good for ad-hoc querying, but you can do so much more if you use some of the filter wildcards. In this worked example we will show how you can refine your selections to just the information that you want through these special filter functions. © 2012 Copyright Junction Solutions.

Simple FilteringThe first way to filter is through the filter box at the header of most forms. This works well, but does have dome limitations in that we cannot use all ofthe wildcarding functionality that we may want to use when we create the filter, © 2012 Copyright Junction Solutions.

Advanced FilteringThe filtering that is on the grids themselves has extended wildcarding features, and allows you to refine your filters much more effectively. © 2012 Copyright Junction Solutions. All rights reserved.

? – Must Have CharacterThe “?” wildcard specifies that there must be a character. With this you can specify a filter that only returns results that are a certain length.e.g. 12?? © 2012 Copyright Junction Solutions. All rights reserved.

Combining QueriesYou don’t have to combine queries in the same format with the “,” operator. In this example we selected a certain size of Item number, and thenexcluded ranges after that using different expressions.e.g. ??????,!120255,!13* © 2012 Copyright Junction Solutions. All rights reserved.
