Filtering Rows

When you are working with large tables, it can be helpful to filter the rows so you can focus on certain ones.

You can filter on multiple columns. For example, you might filter column A to show only rows with one value for A, and another column B to show only rows with one value for B.

Note: To enable or disable filtering on conditions or actions or both, select Window > Preferences > Decision Table and set the Condition field filter and Action field filter settings as desired. See Decision Table Related Preferences

Procedure

Open the decision table in the decision table editor.
Click the down arrow to the right of a column header.

You see a list of all values that have been used in the column’s cells.
Do any of the following as appropriate:
- Clear the All checkbox to clear all the other checkboxes, then select the checkboxes beside the value or values you are interested in.
- Clear the checkbox for values you are not interested in.
Click OK.

Only rows containing the checked values display.
Repeat to filter on additional columns as desired.

What to do next

To remove the filter conditions when you are done, select All in each of the filter columns.
