AI Assistant: Filtering Using Attribute Values

The AI Assistant can apply filters even when you do not type the exact attribute value from your data. It looks for the closest matching value and uses it as a filter. This makes natural language questions easier to use.

How It Works

When you ask a question that includes a possible filter value, the AI Assistant searches your available attributes and values for the closest match and applies it as a filter to the created answer or visualization.

In this version, the matching is based on finding a close text match (for example, a value that contains your input).

Examples

• You provide the attribute name and a rough value

  If you ask: What are the total sales for product category computers?

  The AI Assistant:

  1. identifies the attribute Product Category and value Computers
  2. searches values for a close match
  3. applies the best match, for example: Product Category = Computers and Accessories

• You do not provide the attribute name

  If you ask: What are the total sales for computers?

  The AI Assistant:

  1. treats computers as a filter value
  2. finds which attribute contains a close match
  3. applies the filter, for example: Product Category = Computers and Accessories

• No matching value is found

  If you ask: What are the total sales for kitchen appliances?

  And there is no close match in your data, the AI Assistant responds with a message like: I wasn’t able to locate any attribute with the value Kitchen Appliances. Verify your data or refine your search.
