## How to use column filters?

Column filters allow you to quickly access your tables on the specific data you need. By filtering specific columns, you can easily analyse data and locate relevant information within your data set.

**Applying Column Filters**

Here's how to apply column filters in your tables:

1. **Locate the Column Header:** Identify the column you want to filter. Look for the header row of your table and find the column name that corresponds to the data you want to focus on.
2. **Access the Filter Menu:** Click on the filter icon located next to column search in the header. This action will open the column filter menu.
3. **Select Your Filter Criteria:** The filter menu will present you with various options depending on the data type of your column.
4. **View the Filtered Results:** Your table will now only display rows that match your chosen filter criteria.

**Additional Tips for Using Column Filters**

* **Combine Filters:** You can often apply filters to multiple columns simultaneously to achieve even more precise results.
* **Clear Filters:** To remove a filter and see all your data again, locate the filter icon with red indicator in the column header and remove the the filter.
* **Search within Filters:** Search within the list of available options for faster selection, especially for large datasets.
