To filter data in a table, do the following:

Procedure

Specify the name of the table from which you want to filter data in the Table name field.

Note: The table name is a string value. It is NOT a data table name. For information on how to retrieve the Excel table name, see Rename an Excel table.
Select the Column name to specify the name of the column or the Column position to specify the position of the column that contains the data you want to filter.
Select the Number option if the column you have specified contains number data.
1. Select an option from the list to specify the operator you want to use to filter the data.
