Use AutoFilter or built-in comparison operators like "greater than" and “top 10” in Excel to show the data you want and hide the rest. Once you filter data in a range of cells or table, you can either reapply a filter to get up-to-date results, or clear a filter to redisplay all of the data.
Use filters to temporarily hide some of the data in a table, so you can focus on the data you want to see.
Filter a range of data
- Select any cell within the range.
- Select Data > Filter.
- Select the column header arrow .
- Select Text Filters or Number Filters, and then select a comparison, like Between.
- Enter the filter criteria and select OK.
Filter data in a table
When you put your data in a table, filter controls are automatically added to the table headers.
- Select the column header arrow for the column you want to filter.
- Uncheck (Select All) and select the boxes you want to show.
- Click OK.
The column header arrow changes to a Filter icon. Select this icon to change or clear the filter.
