You can filter most fields in your table to display only relevant records. The filtering options will depend on the type of field you are using.
To filter records, you must select a field to filter by, a filter rule, and the value the filter will evaluate for. After you filter, your table will only show records that match your filter value.
Permissions for filters
Only the owner of a table or users with the "Builder" role can edit and create filters. Learn more about permissions in Zapier Tables.
Filter records
- In the sidebar, click the Filters
icon to open sidebar.
- Click Add filter.
- Click to expand the Field dropdown menu, then select the field to filter by.
- Click to expand the Filter Options dropdown menu, then select the operation to perform.
- Depending on the operation, enter a value in the Text field, or select an option from the dropdown menu.

If you add multiple filters, the table will display only records that match all the filters, as it uses AND
logic.
Remove a filter
- Click the Remove filter
icon.
- Remove all filters by clicking the Remove all button.
