The "Filter Rows by Values" filter can be used to quickly hone in on only the important data in your table or to help remove extraneous information that is not part of your table extraction. To use the "Filter Rows by Values" option, click "Add Cell Filter", "Remove, Select & Insert" then "Filter Rows by Values".
This filter can be used to retain only rows that match certain criteria in a given column. In the example image below the filter can quickly remove a great deal of extraneous information by only retaining rows where column four contains an amount/currency value. There are a number of data types, string, and pattern (regex) options to use in with this filter that covers a wide range of tables.

| does not have a value | - when NO value is present. |
| contains | - only cells where a specific string of text occurs. |

| starts with | - when the beginning of a specified column begins/starts with a string of text. |
| does not start with | - when the beginning of a specified column DOES NOT begin or start with a string of text. |
| is an integer number [0-9] | - Matches whole numbers of any value without decimals. |
| is not an integer number [0-9] | - Excludes rows that contain integer/whole numbers in a specific column. |
