When working with large amounts of data in reports, simplify analysis with filters and sorting. This will allow you to work with the necessary information and not waste time searching for it.

Each Serpstat report contains filtering and sorting to help you complete your tasks and upload relevant data faster.

A filter icon is located in the upper right corner.

A filter is a set of cells with parameter types that can be added and removed as needed.

Cells for two parameters are opened by default, which can be changed by clicking on the pointer and selecting the appropriate option.

Consider the algorithm for working with the filter:

1. Select the option. Depending on the report, different types of parameters will be displayed, for example: difficulty, cost, level of competition and strength of connection, etc.

2. Select the match type. Depending on the parameters, different match types will be displayed, for example:

• For the "Volume" metric, the options "Greater than", "Less than", "Equal", "Less than or equal to", etc. will be shown.
  
  
• For the "SERP features" indicator, the options "Contains" and "Does not contain" will be offered.
  

3. Enter a numerical indicator or a list of keywords, if the selected parameter allows it.

4. If necessary, include or exclude additional parameters — select the "and" / "or" buttons, respectively, then add the necessary parameters.

5. Click the "Apply" button to display the filtering result in the report.

You can filter data in columns in all backlinks' analysis reports, in order to quickly obtain the necessary data and simplify interaction with the tool. This filtering method allows you to quickly find the data you need without using the classic cell filter option.

In order to use this filtering option, you need to click on the filter icon right in the column header, then select the required parameters and enter the data.

Quick filters are fully synchronized with standard filters, so the user does not have to sort data twice.
All filtering and sorting options are available for any pricing plan.
