Take the case I described as an example: With autofilter, you need to 1) click on the autofilter of [Name] column 2) write "Ste", 3) press ENTER 4) click on the autofilter of [Position] column 5) write "dev", 6) press ENTER It is at this point that you can see those rows that match both filters, and find your person. With 'live filter' on: 1) Click on the 'live filter' at the top of column [Name] 2) write "ste" (the visible rows automatically get filtered realtime) 3) Click on the 'live filter' at the top of column [Position] 4) write "dev" (the visible rows automatically get filtered with this new filter, therefore you already see the rows that you can see at point 6 above. As said, for data exploration, data wrangling and data analysis, this workflow is much more efficient than the autofilter, especially when you need to change several conditions (ie editing the live filter) frequently in the same work session. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
