filter operators in QAAWS

I have published a WebI block as a webservice, which I consume from dashboards (xcelsius). The webservice has 2 methods available (GetReportBlock and Drill).

There is also the possibility to filter on input values via the operator and value parameters.

Is there any complete list available of all operators I can use (equal, greather than,…) to filter? I would like to implement a between filter, is that also possible? I don’t find any manual about that. thanks!

As far as I know, the allowed values are:

EQUAL
GREATER
GREATER_OR_EQUAL
LESS
LESS_OR_EQUAL
NOT_EQUAL
INLIST
NOT_INLIST

No Between function that I know of. Please let me know if you figure out how to implement this!

The help file for Bi services is in Webi Help.

Search for BI Service Structure in Webi Help. Also, there is no between boolean command.

I have handled this limitation by using interesting queries.
For example instead of between you could make some creative labels with options like

1 month from choosen date
+/- 3 months from choosen date
1 year from choosen date

etc. Its not exactly a between boolean, but it works for practical purposes for any enduser.

This guy also claims to have solved your issue:
