Method - Creating a filter

From the header strip in a published document, click on Explore > Create Table.
A table will automatically be created using the first question available in the Questions dropdown.
Create a table selecting the question or questions that you wish to create the filter from.
Select the cell or cells (to select multiple cells select one cell and hold down Ctrl or Shift keys to select additional cells). Note, you must select the statistics cells, i.e., the % or n, rather than the row names.
Select Create Filter from the menu on the right side of the screen. Displayr will create and apply a filter to the table.
Select or deselect the filter(s) you wish to apply to any subsequent tables/charts.
