A condition (or criterion) consists of a comparison operator and a value. The list of operators can be selected in the top dropdown list. The value to use for the operator can be typed in the box on the right or selected from the corresponding dropdown list (click on the 
button) that is populated with a list of unique values from the column. A maximum of 10,000 values are allowed.
Up to two conditions can be simultaneously applied. The pair of boxes above the radio buttons are used to set the first condition (comparison operator + value) whereas the second condition is optional and can be specified in the pair of boxes below the radio buttons:
- Select And to apply both criteria
- Select Or radio button to apply either criterion.
The list of available operators is given below:

Miscellaneous notes
- The following operators (equals, does not equal, is greater than, is greater than or equal to, is less than, is less than or equal to) use the display precision for comparison, not the full precision.
- Substring type operators such as begins with and contains will treat numeric cells as strings.
- Greater than and less than operate on string by using alphabetic ordering and on numeric types (including date) as numeric ordering.
- For check boxes, use 0 as the value to match unchecked and 1 as the value to match checked.
