Add filters to tablix data region

Filters can be used to filter data in the tablix data region or a data region group to include or exclude specific values from display or to provide a different view of the dataset in multiple data regions. When processing the report, the filters applied in the report parts are processed first on the dataset, and then on the data region, and then on groups.
