# Filter Values

## Filter Values in Decision Table

Filtering values in a decision table allows you to narrow down rows based on the values in a particular column. This is especially useful when working with large datasets.

{% hint style="success" %}
Filtering is **case-insensitive** and supports **partial matches**. For example, if you filter by "2", it will match values like "120", "240", and "2+4".
{% endhint %}

## Managing Filters

* You can apply filters to multiple columns simultaneously.
* When a column has an active filter, a filter icon will appear in the column header. Clicking this icon will reopen the filter input.
* To clear all filters, click the cross icon at the end of the filter input field.
