Is there a way for me to create a parameter that represents multiple values? For example, I want to filter a metric by 3 different values for a field, and possibly another value for a second field. In pseudo-code, it would be something like

If tag = “DEV” then filter by env=development, app\_name=MyApp1 or MyApp2 or MyApp3

If tag = “PROD” then filter by env=production, app\_name=MyApp1 or MyApp2 or MyApp3

Is this doable?

Hello&nbsp;[@kostellod](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/64254)&nbsp;,  
Multi-select variables allow for such use cases from our side. See the example on the screenshots below and let me know if you need anything else!

```c-mrkdwn__pre
fetch logs, scanLimitGBytes:10
| summarize count(), alias:loglines, by:{bin(timestamp, 1m), alias:timeframe, status}
| filter in(status, array($Status))

```

That allows you to set a single variable to multiple values. I want to set multiple variables based on a tag.

Do you have try with this filter option “multi-select” ?
