2. Click on the filter tab beside the data pane. To filter, click on the drop-down field and then click on the apply button at the bottom of the filter pane.

3. Changing the filter type:

   Depending on the data type you will get the below filter type option upon clicking the settings icon

a. Categorical data:

            - **Single Select:** A single select filter allows users to choose only one option from a list of available choices. This type of filter is useful when the analysis requires focusing on a specific category, item, or criterion at a time.

            - **Multi Select:** A multi-select filter allows users to select multiple options from a list simultaneously. This type of filter is beneficial for analyzing data across several categories or criteria at once.

b. Date:

            - **Single Select:** A single select date filter allows users to choose only one date from a list of available choices. This type of filter is useful when the analysis requires focusing on a specific date.

            - **Multi Select:** A multi-select date filter allows users to select multiple dates from a list simultaneously. This type of filter is beneficial for analyzing data across several categories or criteria at once.

            - **Range:** A range date filter is a specific type of filter used in data analysis and reporting to limit the dataset to a particular range of dates. This filter allows users to focus on records that fall within a specified start and end date, making it easier to analyze trends, patterns, and events over time.

c. Numerical Data:

            - **Condition:** Conditional filters allow users to define conditions that data entries must meet to be included in the filtered results. Conditions involves comparisons (greater than, less than, equal to, etc.).

            - **Range:** This type of filter allows users to define a lower and upper boundary for the filter. Data points that fall within this range will be included in the results.
