Review and analyse thousands of rows without a computer, and carry your data with you wherever you go. Fast, Smart Filtering • Find what you need instantly with a single filter, even in an Excel file with tens of thousands of rows. • Turn any column into a dynamic filter (region, category, status, customer and more). • Filters feed each other: pick a region and only the cities in that region remain listed. • Search text across every column, and set custom ranges on number and date columns.

Save and Pick Up Where You Left Off • Save the filter and summary layouts you use most and skip the setup next time. • Open the same file again and find your settings and active filters exactly as you left them. • Share your saved layouts with your team. Easy Sharing • Export tables or summary views as text or HTML. • Send your data by email, message or any other app in an instant.
