New

• OR filters!

Previously, Rowboat was focused on filtering that would return rows matching all of the given conditions. We now support working with “OR” filters, which will return rows that match any of the given conditions. For example, Age: 0 to 18 OR 60 to 100 will return rows whose Age is within the 0 to 18 range as well as rows whose Age is within the 60 to 100 range.

To create a set of OR filters, hold Command (Mac) or Control (Windows) while hovering on a header entry (for example, bars or histogram).

Alternatively:

• Create filters manually

In addition to clicking on header entries to filter, you can now create filters manually, which can be helpful for complex filter queries or datasets with many columns.

To create a filter, click the down arrow to expand the filter area and click “Add filter” (to create a single filter) or “Add OR filters” (to create a set of OR filters).
