How To... > Work with Graphs > Filter a Graph

You can filter a graph so it displays a subset of its data.

 

1. Select the graph.
2.Choose Object | Add Filter.
3.In the formula editor, enter an expression that will be either true or false for each case (a Boolean expression). Press Enter or Return to accept the formula and close the formula editor.

For example, sex = "male" will filter out the females, leaving only males; age > 65 will filter out everyone younger than 65. See Write a Filter and Make Boolean Expressions.

If you want the filter to apply to all objects, not just one graph, add the filter to the collection.
