> #### How to filter at the data set level

> 1 | In Data Explorer, right-click the data set from which to filter rows, then choose Edit. Edit Data Set displays the query for the data set, as shown in Figure 10-1.

> Figure 10-1 Edit Data Set displaying the query

> 2 | Choose Filters from the left side of the window. Edit Data Set displays filter information, as shown in Figure 10-2.

> Figure 10-2 Edit Data Set displaying filtering information

> 3 | Choose New to create a filter condition.

> 4 | In New Filter Condition, specify the following values:

> | In the first field, select a field from the drop-down list. Alternatively, open the expression builder to create a more complex expression.

> | In the second field, select an operator from the drop-down list.

> | In the third field, specify the value to search. Type the value, select from the list of values, or use the expression builder to create a more complex value expression. If you select the Is True, Is False, Is Null, or Is Not Null operator, a value is not required.

> | In the fourth field, which appears only if you select the Between or Not Between operator, specify a value. Figure 10-3 shows an example of a filter condition.

> Figure 10-3 New Filter displaying a filter condition
> Choose OK to save the new filter condition.

> 5 | To create additional filter conditions for the data set, repeat steps 3 and 4. Figure 10-4 shows two examples of filter conditions created for a data set. Figure 10-5 shows the rows that the data set returns.

> Figure 10-4 Edit Data Set displaying the filter conditions for the data set

> 6 | Choose Preview Results to verify the results that filtering the data set returns. If you specified multiple filter conditions, the data set returns only rows that match all filter conditions, as shown in Figure 10-5. To return rows that match any one of the filter conditions, create a single filter condition that contains an OR expression, then select the Is True operator.

> Figure 10-5 Preview Results shows only rows that meet both filter conditions
