# Search & Filter The search & filter features help you to focus on relevant data when there are a large number of records. ## 1. Search The Search option helps you find characters, words, and phrases in your Inforiver report. 1.1. In the Home ribbon, click on the Search icon in the Analyze section.

1.2. Type the text/value in the search box. Premium Table starts narrowing down the matches as soon as you start typing. Navigate through the results using the up and down arrows.

1.3. You can also search for specific numeric measure values.

{% hint style="info" %} Premium Table searches across pages if you are using the multiple pages option in the Design tab. {% endhint %} ## 2. Filter Inforiver provides nested AND/OR filtering options to filter a range of data based on the criteria you define. ### 2.1. Nested and grouped filters a) Click on the Filter icon in the **Analyze** section of the Home ribbon.

b) Click **Add Filter**. You can filter by row dimension categories or by measures. Inforiver provides conditions depending on the filter selected. Enter a condition as shown below.

c) The data has been filtered to show only the rows corresponding to 'Canada'. {% hint style="info" %} You can apply filters on manual input rows like calculated rows/static rows/template rows, etc. Learn more about [manual input rows](https://docs.inforiver.com/premium-table/working-with-premium-table/4.-adding-business-logic-and-formulae/insert-manual-input-rows) and [calculated rows](https://docs.inforiver.com/premium-table/working-with-premium-table/4.-adding-business-logic-and-formulae/insert-calculated-rows). {% endhint %}

d) You can add multiple filters using the **Add Filter** option and can apply nested AND/OR conditions. In the below example, we have added one more condition to filter only the International region for the category Water.

#### Add group e) Inforiver also provides an option to add filter groups. Click 'Advanced'.

f) Click 'Add group'. We have added multiple conditions using AND/OR and using two filter groups.

g) You can delete the individual filters by clicking on the

icon available next to the condition. h) If you want to temporarily turn off all the filters, select the 'No Filter' option from the dropdown.

i) The 'Persist filters' option ensures the filters are retained when switching between pages in the report. ### 2.2. Column-level filter Premium Table provides nested AND/OR column-based filtering options to filter a range of data based on the criteria you define. a) When you hover over any column, a hamburger menu appears as highlighted. Click on the hamburger menu (column gripper) and then click on the

icon.

b) Choose the filter condition from the drop-down and enter the filter value. Let us consider an example to apply a column filter on the Plan measure to display the rows with a Plan < 20k. The data gets filtered to show only the values corresponding to the filter condition.

d) You can add nested AND/OR filters by clicking the **Add rule** option. In the example, we have added one more condition.

Adding multiple filter conditions for columns

{% hint style="info" %} You can click 'Clear filter' to clear all the column filters applied. {% endhint %} In the next section, we'll look at the [KPI Explorer](https://docs.inforiver.com/premium-table/working-with-premium-table/3.-basic-interactions/explore-and-filter-data/explorer).
