Adding on to last month’s announcement of Multi-Metric, the user can now set a minimum threshold that must be reached for a data point to appear in a chart or table. In the Metrics dialog (accessed by clicking on the Customize Metrics button in the query section of the Data Explorer sidebar), you will see a new button in the Selected Metrics selector which is highlighted in the graphic to the right. This will bring up a Set Minimum Threshold dialog. Once you have input the threshold minimum you want to see, the button in the Selected Metrics selector will change from grey to orange so you know a threshold is set.

This is a common ad-hoc data filtering tool in the realm of BI tools, often referred to as a ‘Noise Suppressor’ because it will help weed out any background noise from the actual signal useful to the user.
