2. Click the Add Condition button to add a condition line.
3. From the field drop-down list, select the field on which the filter will be based.
4. From the operator drop-down list, set the operator with which to compose the filter expression.
5. In the value combo box, type the value of how to filter the field or select the value from the drop-down list.
6. Click Add Condition to define another condition line and set the relationship between the two lines if required.
7. When done, click OK to accept the changes.

   Then when you preview the table, only data satisfying the specified filter conditions are shown.
