Measure Filters and Position Filters

Apply a measure filter with a position filter to the view of a pivot table. You can apply a position filter over a measure filter to the view to bring down the number of positions and concentrate on the subsection of data. When you apply a measure filter over the position filter, then the position filter is removed and the measure filter is applied over all of the available positions.
