In other words, if you filter a form in Datasheet view, the filter settings will still be in effect even if you switch to Form view or Layout view, and will remain in effect until you close the form.

To learn how to clear filters, see the section Clear a filter.įilter settings will remain in effect until you close the object, even if you switch to another view of the object. To permanently remove a filter from a view: Clear the filter. To switch between the filtered and unfiltered views: in the Sort & Filter group on the Home tab, click Toggle filter. Removing a filter temporarily removes it from the view, so that you can switch back to the original, unfiltered view. To revert to unfiltered view: Remove the filters. When you filter multiple fields in a single view, the filters are combined by using the AND operator, like this:ĬountryRegion = UK AND month of BirthDate = April

Though only a single filter can be in effect for a field at a time, you can specify a different filter for each field in the view.įor example, to see the names of contacts that live in the UK whose birthdays fall in April, you can filter the Contacts table on the CountryRegion field and also on the BirthDate field. Note: When you apply a filter to a column that is already filtered, the previous filter is automatically removed. In the datasheet view, when you hover, the mouse, over the column heading, you will see the current filter criterion. The filter icon in the column header and the record navigator bar indicates that the current view is filtered on the BirthDate column.Ģ. In this filtered view, you see only the records in which the month portion of the BirthDate field is set to April.ġ. All Dates in Period filter ignores the day and year portion of the date values. The filters that are available to you depend on the data type in the selected column.Ģ. The availability of filter commands depends on the type and values of the field.įor example, to view the records of people whose birthdays fall during a specific month, click the BirthDate column, on the Home tab in the Sort & Filter group, click Date Filters, and then select the required date period.ġ. Access contains some common filters that are built into every view. There are several types of filters and some of them are easy to apply and remove. Note: Columns in datasheets and controls in forms and reports that are bound to expressions do not support filtering.
