Filter, sort and customize node matrices


What do you want to do?


 


Filter columns or rows

Using filters, you can show or hide columns or rows based on the values displayed in the node matrix—for example, Apply a filter to Column A to hide rows where there are no coding references for small businesses.

To filter a column:

  1. Select the column.

  2. On the Layout tab, in the Sort & Filter group, click Filter, and then click Filter Column.
