I have requirement where I want to add prefilter in the final report but that filter should be hidden from user.

I am using OLAP cube for that report and displaying in WRS through SAS Infomap. Is it possible to add prefilter in SAS OLAP cube as now the option is not available in SAS InfoMap. Any Info available are welcome to share?

The Hide from User option for filters in the information map is for use with prefilters. However, you cannot create prefilters for OLAP data. Your only option is to create an MDX expression directly on the cube. This is described in

Do you need the filter for security reasons? For example, SAS Demo User should be able to see only information for North Carolina. Or do you want to filter results in the report but not allow users to change the filter value?

Yes I want to filter results in the report but not allow users to change the filter value and also the filter which I applied should not be visible to the end user while seeing the report.

@ashu464810 unfortunately your reply makes nothing to enlighten your requirement.
Ading a filter to the cube itself makes little sense, if that's your take, create a new cube instead.

@LinusH I understand but I have one doubt we can create filter in Information map studio for Cube Based report but when I am trying to hide the filter from user it is not filtering the data rather I am getting all the recorods from the table. Can you help me with this?

Thnx

To apply the filter you created in the information map in Web Report Studio, you would have to select Section Filters from the Options menu on the Section Data pane on the left, and specifically select the filter. It is not applied automatically. However, information about the filter is displayed if the person viewing the report has the Display Applied Filter preference turned on.

 

You might want to consider MDX permissions on the cube. You can do that via SAS Management Console. See
