📖 Task Introduction

The Filter Board enables you to configure and apply filters on your dataset. Although you can also apply filters in other Boards (e.g., Distribution, Histogram), the Filter Board allows more complex filtering involving multiple variables.

After selecting Add filter, you'll choose a column to filter and then a filter type from the dropdown. Based on the column selected, Contour will determine an appropriate filter category (e.g. numeric filter options will be presented for a column containing numeric values).
