Filtering a Table
You can apply filters to columns that have the filter icon in them.
You can use the following to better target your filter:
-
* wildcard to find variations.
This can be useful when there may be spelling variations for names.
For example, if there are different ways to spell Vladimir, you could enter the filter Vlad*.
-
"" quotes to find exact phrases.
For example, if you enter Vladimir Putin in the filter, it will find all occurrences of Vladimir and all occurrences of Putin. However, if you enter "Vladimir Putin" in the filter (including the quotes), you will only get the entries with that exact phrase.
