Yes, you can easily filter data in Google Sheets to show only the information you need. Filtering is a powerful tool that can save you time and effort by allowing you to focus on specific data points, without having to manually sort through large amounts of data.

To filter data in Google Sheets, simply select the data range you want to filter and click on the 'Data' tab in the menu bar. Then, click on 'Create a filter.' This will add drop-down menus to the header row of your data range.

Click on the drop-down menu in the column you want to filter, and select the filter criteria you want to use. For example, you can filter by text, number, date, or even by custom conditions. You can also apply multiple filters to different columns at once.

Once you have selected your filter criteria, Google Sheets will automatically hide all the rows that do not match your filter. To remove a filter, simply click on the 'Data' tab again and select 'Turn off filter.'
