#Office365Challenge – Excel – Data Filters.

When working with a lot of data in Excel, it’s valuable to be able to filter to see specific data. When your data has headers (names for the columns), you are able to use Data Filters.

To switch this on, go to the Data Tab > Filters. When selected you will see the filter dropdowns next to each column name:

This allows you to sort data as well as supply filters to only see selected data. With numbers you can do further filtering by opening “Numbers Filters”. Here you can define more filter criteria.

Overview of my challenge: As an absolute lover of all things Microsoft, I’ve decided to undertake the challenge, of writing a blog every single day, for the next 365 days. Crazy, I know.
