# Dashboard Filtering & Drilling

## Overview

Preset's Dashboard Filters offer powerful data filtering functionality coupled with an easy-to-use intuitive interface. From any dashboard, you can expand the Filters sidebar to quickly apply a variety of filters across-the-board to all charts within a dashboard.

"Value" filter types enable you to specify any value for any column within the dataset, allowing considerable leeway in terms of offering a variety of filters. "Numerical range" filters offer an easy way to define a numeric value range, such as pricing data or year ranges. Additionally, Preset offers a number of time-based filters (Time Range, Time Column, and Time Grain) that enable you to filter all charts based on your dataset's time column.

Both basic & advanced configuration settings empower you to take your filters to the next level in terms of filtration options and usability.

For the instructions below we will reference the **Video Game Sales** dashboard, which is a sample dashboard that is accessible to all new Preset accounts.

## Navigate to Dashboard Filters

From the Home Page, select **Dashboards** in the top Toolbar. A list of all available dashboards appears.

Launch any dashboard by selecting its name under the **Title** column header.

## Access the Filter Configuration

All set? Great. Let's start the process of configuring a new filter by selecting **Add/Edit Filters**.

![Select_AddEdit_Filters](https://cdn.document360.io/4749ddf8-aa05-4f3f-80e1-07a5d2d0f137/Images/Documentation/Select_AddEdit_Filters.png)

The *Add and edit filters* window appears.

![New_Create_Filter](https://cdn.document360.io/4749ddf8-aa05-4f3f-80e1-07a5d2d0f137/Images/Documentation/New_Create_Filter.png)

**Filter Box (Deprecated)**  
If you are migrating from Apache Superset you may be familiar with the Filter Box, this is a deprecated method of filtering which has been replaced by the filter bar. If you're looking for an alternative to the filter box you can utilize a mix of the [filter bar](/v1/docs/filter-types), [cross filtering](/v1/docs/cross-filtering) and [filter scoping](/v1/docs/scoping-a-filter) for a well rounded filtering experience.
