How to Filter Data in Excel on the Web

About

In this article we will review how to filter data using Excel on the web.

Environment

Excel on the web in a desktop browser.

Steps

  • Navigate to Excel on the web as you normally would.
  • Select the column you wish to filter by clicking its corresponding letter.

  • In the ribbon on the Home tab you will click on the button that has A above Z to the left of a funnel. 
  • A drop down menu will appear.
  • Click the filter button which resembles a funnel.

  • Note that a little down arrow is now displayed at the top cell of the column you selected at the right.

  • Click on that arrow. You will see your filter options at the bottom. 
  • Adjust as desired and your data will be filtered accordingly.

Hint: (You can only filter by one column at a time.)
Hint: (You can search for the item you wish to filter by. This is handy if you have a lot of options in the column.)
