Use the Keyword box to search in tables for rows that contain specific data. The found rows are then filtered and displayed in the table.

• When displaying filtered rows only, click Remove Search Filter to display the entire table.

• When displaying the entire table, click Apply Search Filter to display only the filtered rows.

To filter table rows

• Type one or more words (or cell values) in the Keyword box, separated by spaces, and then click Filter. Use * (asterisk) at the end of a word as a wildcard. Words such as the, if, any (and so on) are ignored, as is all punctuation.

Note: You cannot use Boolean operators such as AND, OR, or NOT.

A row is displayed in the table only if all words are found in any cell of the row.
