There are a few things that you can do that will help you scan, find, and limit records on a list or in a report or XMLport. These include sorting, searching, and filtering. You can apply some or all of these simultaneously to quickly find or analyze your data.

For reports and XMLports, you can set filters as on lists to delimit which data to include in the report or XMLport, but you cannot sort and search.

Tip

When viewing your data as tiles, you can search and use basic filtering. To use the full set of powerful features for sorting, searching, and filtering, choose the icon to view the records as a list.

Sorting

Sorting makes it easy for you to get a quick overview of your data. If you have many customers, for example, you can choose to sort them by Customer No., Customer Posting Group, Currency Code, Country Region Code, or Sales Tax Registration No. to get the overview you need.

To sort a list, you can either choose a column heading text to toggle between ascending and descending order, or choose the drop-down arrow in the column heading, and then choose the Ascending or Descending action.

Note

Sorting is not supported on images, BLOB fields, FlowFilters, and fields that do not belong to a table.

Searching

At the top of each list page, there is a Search action that provides a quick and easy way to reduce the records in a list and display only those records that contain the data that you are interested in seeing.

To search, simply choose the Search action, and then in the box, type the text that you are looking for. You can enter letters, numbers, and other symbols.

Fine-tuning the Search

In general, search will attempt to match text across all fields. It does not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase characters (case insensitive) and will match text placed anywhere in the field, at the beginning, end, or in the middle.

However, you can make a more exact search by using special characters.

  • To find only field values that match the entire text and case exactly, place the search text between single quotes ' (for example, 'man').

  • To find field values that start with a certain text and match the case, place * after the search text (for example man*).

  • To find field values that end with a certain text and match the case, place * before the search text (for example *man).

  • When using ' or *, the search is case sensitive. If you want to make the search case insensitive, place @ before the search text (for example @man*).

Excel user manual pdf

The following table provides some examples to explain how you can use the search.

Search CriteriaFinds..
man
or
Man
All records with fields that contain the text man, regardless of the case. For example, Manchester, manual, or Sportsman.
'Man'All records with fields that contain only Man, matching the case.
Man*All records with fields that start with the text Man, matching the case. For example, Manchester but not manual or Sportsman.
@Man*All records with fields that start with man, regardless of the case. For example, Manchester and manual, but not Sportsman.
@*manAll records that end with man, regardless of the case. For example Sportsman, but not Manchester or manual.

Tip

You can press F3 to activate and deactivate the search box. For more information see Keyboard Shortcuts.

Filtering

Filtering provides a more advanced and versatile way of controlling which records display on a list or include in a report or XMLport. There are two major differences between searching and filtering, as described in the table below.

SearchingFiltering
Applicable FieldsSearches across all fields that are visible on the page.Filters one or more fields individually, selecting from any field on the table, including fields that are not visible on the page.
MatchingDisplays records with fields that match the search text, irrespective of casing or placement of that text.Displays records where the field matches the filter exactly and is case sensitive, unless special filter symbols are entered.

Filtering enables you to display records for specific accounts or customers, dates, amounts, and other information by specifying filter criteria. Only records that match the criteria are displayed on the list or included in the report, batch job, or XMLport. If you specify criteria for multiple fields, then only records that match all criteria will be displayed.

For lists, the filters are displayed on a filter pane that appears to the left of the list when you activate it. For reports, batch jobs, and XMLports, the filters are visible directly on the request page.

Filtering with Option Fields

For 'ordinary' fields that hold data, setup date or business data, you can set filters both by selecting data and by typing filter values, and you can use symbols to define advanced filter criteria. For more information, see Entering Filter Criteria.

For fields of type Option, however, you can only set a filter by selecting one or more options from a drop-down list of the available options. An example of an option field is the Status field on the Sales Orders page.

Note

When you select multiple options as a filter value, the relationship between the options is defined as OR. For example, if you select both the Open and the Released check box in the Status filter field on the Sales Orders page, it means that sales orders that are either open or released are displayed.

Setting Filters on Lists

On lists, you set filters by using the filter pane. To display the filter pane for a list, choose the drop-down arrow next to the name of the page, and then choose the Show filter pane action. Alternatively, press Shift+F3.

To display the filter pane for a column on a list, choose the drop-down arrow, and then choose the Filter action. Alternatively, press Shift+F3. The filter pane opens with the selected column shown as a filter field in the Filter list by section.

The filter pane displays the current filters for a list, and enables you to set your own custom filters on one or more fields by choosing the + Filter action.

A filter pane is divided in three sections: Views, Filter list by, and Filter totals by:

  • Views

    Some lists include the Views section. Views are variations of the list that have been preconfigured with filters. You can define and save as many views as you want per list, and the views will be available to you on any device you sign into. For more information, see Save and Personalize List Views.

  • Filter list by

    This is where you add filters on specific fields to reduce the number of displayed records. To add a filter, choose the + Filter action, type the name of the field that you want to filter the list by, or pick a field from the drop-down list.

  • Filter totals by

    Some lists that display calculated fields, such as amounts and quantities, will include the Filter totals by section where you can adjust various dimensions that influence calculations. To add a filter, choose the + Filter action, type the name of the field that you want to filter the list by, or pick a field from the drop-down list.

    Note

    Filters in the Filter totals by section are controlled by FlowFilters on the page design. For technical information, see FlowFilters.

You can set a simple filter directly on a list within using the filter pane, namely a filter that displays only records with the same value as in the selected cell. Select a cell on the list, choose the drop-down arrow, and then choose the Filter to This Value action. Alternatively, press Alt+F3.

Setting Filters in Reports, Batch Jobs, and XMLports

For reports and XMLports, the filters are visible directly on the request page. The request page displays the last used filters according to your selection in the Use default values from field. For more information, see Using Saved Settings.

The main Filter section shows the default filter fields that you use to delimit which records to include in the report or XMLport. To add a filter, choose the + Filter action, type the name of the field that you want to filter by, or pick a field from the drop-down list.

In the Filter totals by section, you can adjust various dimensions that influence calculations in the report or XMLport. To add a filter, choose the + Filter action, type the name of the field that you want to filter by, or pick a field from the drop-down list.

Entering Filter Criteria

Both in the filter pane and on a request page, you enter your filter criteria in the box under the filter field.

The type of the filter field determines which criteria you can enter. For example, filtering a field that has fixed values will only let you choose from those values. For more information about special filter symbols, see Filter criteria and Filter tokens.

Columns that already have filters are indicated by the icon in the column heading. To remove a filter, choose the drop-down arrow, and then choose the Clear Filter action.

Tip

Accelerate finding and analyzing your data by using combinations of keyboard shortcuts. For example, select a field, use Shift+Alt+F3 to add that field to the filter pane, type the filter criteria, use Ctrl+Enter to return to the rows, select another field, and use Alt+F3 to filter to that value. For more information see Keyboard Shortcuts.

Filter Criteria and Symbols

When you enter criteria, you can use all the numbers and letters that you can normally use in the field. In addition, you can use special symbols (or operators) to further filter the results. The following tables show the symbols that can be used in filters. For dates and times, you can also refer to Working with Calendar Dates and Times for more detailed information.

2015 honda civic si manual transmission. Important

There may be instances where field values contain these symbols and you want to filter on them. To do this, you must include the filter expression that contains the symbol in quotation marks ('). For example, if you want to filter on records that start with the text S&R, the filter expression is 'S&R*'.

The following sections describe how to use the different operators.

Note

If there are more than 200 operators in a single filter, the system will automatically group some expressions in parentheses () for the purpose of processing. This has no effect on the filter or the results.

Filter Tokens

Microsoft Excel Pdf Manual

When entering filter criteria, you can also type words that have special meaning, called filter tokens. After entering the token word, the word is replaced by the value or values that it represents. This makes filtering easier by reducing the need to navigate to other pages to look up values you want to add to your filter. The tables below describe some of the tokens you can type as filter criteria.

Tip

FileDialog
FileDialogFilters
FileDialogFilter

A collection of FileDialogFilter objects that represent the types of files that can be selected in a file dialog box that is displayed using the FileDialog object.

Using the FileDialogFilters collection

Use the Filters property of the FileDialog object to return a FileDialogFilters collection. The following code returns the FileDialogFilters collection for the File Open dialog box.

Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen).Filters

Use the Add method to add FileDialogFilter objects to the FileDialogFilters collection. The following example uses the Clear method to clear the collection and then adds filters to the collection. The Clear method completely empties the collection; however, if you don't add any filters to the collection after you clear it, the 'All files (*.*)' filter is added automatically.

When changing the FileDialogFilters collection, remember that each application can only instantiate a single FileDialog object. This means that the FileDialogFilters collection will reset to its default filters whenever you call the FileDialog method with a new dialog box type.

The following example iterates through the default filters of the SaveAs dialog box and displays the description of each filter that includes a Microsoft Excel file.

Note A run-time error will occur if the Filters property is used in conjunction with the Clear, Add, or Delete methods when applied to a Save As FileDiaog object. For example, Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogSaveAs).Filters.Clear will result in a run-time error.
