Customize the data visualization

You can use the filter boxes under the column’s title to filter the data, which accepts even regular expressions.

For example, try out:

Australia OR Portugal to select specific countries (in the first column);
2 to filter by a given value (e.g. 2);
1 OR 3 to filter for two values;
!=3 to filter out a value (e.g. NOT 3);
>2 to get values more than a minimum (e.g. more than 2);
>=1to get values more or equal a minimum (e.g. more or equal 1); and so on.

You can also use multiple filters in more columns at the same time (they will behave like a logical AND).
