If you have restricted a characteristic to variable values, before the query is executed a dialog box appears into which you manually enter variable values (provided that the variable is flagged as Ready for Input). For more information, see Variables.

The query is calculated according to your selection criteria. The selected characteristic values are displayed to the right in the filter area, next to the corresponding characteristic. Only the selected characteristic values are included in the table (or in the chart or map).
