FILTERING DATA
Ihe Filter feature selectively blocks or hides data you do not want to see. A filtered range
displays only the rows/columns that meet the conditions or criteria you specify. Filtering is
a quick and easy way to find and work with selected data. Unlike sorting, filtering does not
26
rearrange data. It temporarily hides the rows/columns you do not want. You can edit, format, or
print the chosen range.
Excel provides two commands for filtering the data range: Filter (for simple criteria) and
Advanced Filter (tor complex criteria). In this chapter we will discuss the Filter leature, 1et
take an example to understand how to use this feature.
I. Consider the same data as shown in Figure 2.20. Select a cell in the range Al:DII, say B2.
