How to add filter to column in excel (Step-by-Step)

Excel Filter, also known as AutoFilter, is a convenient approach to show only the data that is important at the time and hide all other data. In Excel spreadsheets, you may filter rows by value, format, and criteria. You may copy, modify, chart, or print only visible rows after applying a filter without rearranging the full list.
