+### Extraction filter
+
+Extraction filter matches a dimension using some specific [Extraction function](./dimensionspecs.html#extraction-functions).
+The filter matches the values for which the extraction function has transformation entry `input_key=output_value` where
+ `output_value` is equal to the filter `value` and `input_key` is present as dimension.
+
+**Example**
+The following matches dimension values in `[product_1, product_3, product_5]` for the column `product`
