# Filtering Airtable Lists

With lists connected to external Airtable collections, you have a lot of options for filtering your list so that it only displays a subset of records from Airtable.

To filter your List that's connected to an Airtable collection, first select the list, and then in the right panel after you've selected the airtabel collection, click the Add Filter button

Then for the name of the filter enter "filterByFormula"

For the value of the formula, you can use [any formula supported by Airtable](https://support.airtable.com/hc/en-us/articles/203255215-Formula-Field-Reference).  The list will display any records from Airtable where the formula is true.  Any records where the formula is false will be filtered out.

For example, if you just wanted to show Trips where the Name was Hawaii, the value of your filter would be the following formula:

({Name} = 'Hawaii')

\*Whatever is inside of the curly brackets should be the name of the column in Airtable.

\*\*Whatever is inside of the single quotes is what you want the filter to look for.  You can also use magic text in these filters like in the example below:

#### Below are some common formulas:

* Name field = Hawaii
  * ({Field Name} = 'Hawaii')
* Name field isn't empty
  * NOT({Name} = '')
* Field Contains Hawaii
  * Search('Hawaii', {Field Name})
* Field does not contain Hawaii
  * NOT(Search('Hawaii', {Field Name}))
* Field is greater than 17
  * ({Field Name} > 17)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.adalo.com/integrations/airtable/working-with-lists/filtering-airtable-lists.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
