The majority of the available reports in Tableau include filters. Filters define what parts of a data set are included in the report view. For most reports, filters set in one view of a report are applied to all other views of the same report. Filter types vary based on the report data.

For filters with a drop-down option (such as the PO ID filter shown in the example below), click the filter to open up available options.

Use either the search field above the All option to search for a specific parameter, or scroll through the options to locate and check the desired option(s). Multiple options can be selected. In the example shown, the PO ID 109582 was entered into the search field and the box was checked. This means that this data parameter will be set in the filter to only show corresponding values and data.

Then click Apply. Complete the above steps for any additional filter on the report. After the filter(s) are applied, the report will refresh and display the data according to the parameters applied in the set filters. If this report enables filters to carry from one view to the rest, all views of the same report will enable to same set filters.
