  • I am not sure what version of SAS EG you are using, but here are the screenshots for SAS EG 5.1

    1. start building a basic filter in query wizard
    2. click on the drop down triangle for the filter value
    3. select "columns" tab
    4. select the actual column
    5. make sure "Enclose values in quotes" is not ticked
    6. Hit finish
