# Filtering Data in Tables

## Filtering Data in Tables

Explorer's filtering system helps you narrow down large datasets to find specific information. The filtering tools are located in a sidebar on the left side of any data table.

### Using the Filter Sidebar

The filter sidebar organizes all available filtering options into categories. Each category shows:

* Available filter values and their counts
* A search box to find specific values
* Checkboxes to select multiple values

Use the search bar at the top of the sidebar to quickly locate specific filter categories.

### Applying and Managing Filters

To filter your data, expand a category by clicking the "+" icon and select the values you want to filter by. The main table updates automatically to show only matching records.

When filters are active:

* They appear at the top under "Applied Filters"
* Click the "x" next to a filter to remove it
* Use "Clear all filters" to remove all active filters at once
