Hello Ribao,

You can customize the default FlatDataSource by deriving from it and extending its filtering functionality. If you need a guidance on how the ISupportFilters interface is implemented for the XmlaDataSource you can review the source code under the XmlaDataSource class. The source code could be downloaded under your account at My Keys & Downloads section. When you select a registered product from the list the Source Code tab for the specified version will be displayed in a tab below the list.

Hello Ribao,

The Excel-style filtering is available for the XMLADataSource which implements the ISupportFilters interface. Supporting the Excel-style filtering by setting the EnableAdvancedFiltering property to true is a product idea for the FlatDataSource. The same product idea has already been submitted here http://ideas.infragistics.com/forums/192363-wpf/suggestions/6268134-add-excel-style-filtering-for-flatdatasource-in-xa.
