Arrows in the column headers appear.

Number Filter

To apply a number filter, execute the following steps.

3. Click the arrow next to Sales.

Text Filter

To apply a text filter, execute the following steps.

3. Click the arrow next to Last Name.

4. Click Text Filters (this option is available because the Last Name column contains text data) and select Equals from the list.
