What do you want to do?
You can apply filters to the classifying columns (fields) in your dataset, to show or hide rows that match certain criteria. For example, you could apply a filter to the column Sex so that only rows containing comments by Females are displayed.
You can apply filters to more than one column. For example, in a set of survey responses, you can filter the Sex column to show only Females, and then apply a filter to the Age Range column so that you show only respondents aged between 20-29 years. With both filters applied, you will see only rows where the respondent was Female aged 20-29 years.
When you code your dataset content using the Dataset Auto Code Wizard, you can choose to code only the filtered (visible) rows.
