14.02 Filtering The Worksheet Tab

On the Worksheet Tab, you can use Column Header filtering (covered below) and the drag-n-drop grouping control (covered in the next article).

Filtering the Worksheet Tab

Every Takeoff Item Property column (the Columns to the left of the pricing grid), include a filter control ().

• Using the Column Picker control (), add the Takeoff Item Group column to the grid (see Related Articles for details on showing/hiding columns on the Summary Tab, the process is the same on the Worksheet Tab)
• Click the control next to the "Takeoff Item Group" column header
• Click "Filter by >" to see a list of all available filters

We selected "Walls" so our grid is filtered to show only those Takeoff Results whose Takeoff Item Group is "Walls".

Only Results for Takeoff Items assigned to the Takeoff Item Group of "Walls - Interior" display.

Applying Multiple Filters

You can apply multiple filters to the list to narrow down your focus considerably.

After applying the Takeoff Item Group filter, apply a filter to the "Result" column.

We selected "Surface Area (single side - minus Attachment...)"

You can see how quickly you can whittle down the Worksheet Tab using filters.

Clearing a Filter

Whatever filters you apply are retained, even if you close the Bid, close the program, click the  button,  or even remove/hide the column by which you are filtering.

To restore all Results on the Worksheet Tab, you must clear each filter manually.

• Click the  control
• Click Filter By >
• Scroll to the bottom of the list (if necessary)
• Click "Clear"

Next up, using the Grouping control organize/group takeoff results.
