Can I filter data using table calculations?

Indirectly yes, example in Looker Docs here.

The trick is to use "hide no's from visualization". This requires you to have your "filter condition" as a boolean table calc.

Note that this isn't actually filtering in the SQL clause, and that this will only work on result sets with 5000 rows or less. There is a feature request for allowing a result set filter based on table calcs.

Hi @LookerExperts 

Do you know if there are any plans to update this functionality? 

It would be great to be able to create dashboards/looks using merged views and be able to filter on the non-primary view
