To filter and sort data in Excel, you can follow these steps:
Open your Excel spreadsheet that contains the data you want to filter and sort.
Select the range of cells that you want to filter and sort. This can be a single column or multiple columns.
Go to the "Data" tab on the Excel ribbon and click on the "Filter" button. This will add filter arrows to the headers of the selected columns.
Click on the filter arrow of the column you want to filter. A drop-down menu will appear with various options.
In the drop-down menu, you can choose to filter data based on specific criteria, such as text filters, number filters, date filters, etc. For example, if you want to filter a column to show only values greater than a certain number, select the "Number Filters" option and choose the desired criteria.
Once you have selected your filtering criteria, click "OK" to apply the filter. The data will be filtered according to your chosen criteria, and any rows that do not meet the criteria will be temporarily hidden.
To sort the filtered data, click on the filter arrow again and select the "Sort A to Z" or "Sort Z to A" option. This will rearrange the filtered data in ascending or descending order based on the column you are sorting.
If you want to remove the filter and display all the data again, go back to the "Data" tab and click on the "Clear" button.
That's it! You have successfully filtered and sorted data in Excel.
