5. Filter
• Filtering refers to comparing a list of records
against specific criteria and then hiding the
records that don’t match the criteria.
• It can be used simply to help find a record, or
to create a subset of data that you can then
edit, format, copy, move, chart or otherwise
manipulate without affecting the other
records.
