Filters provide a powerful way to narrow down and organize your data according to your specific requirements. NocoDB supports nested filters, allowing you to select multiple fields and conditions for filtering. You can choose between `and` or `or` mode of operation to combine filters, and filtering also supports Lookup, Formula, and Nested Data.

### Adding or Editing Filters
To add or edit a filter, simply click the `Filter` button in the toolbar and select either `Add filter` or `Add filter group`.

Configure the filter by specifying the `Field,` `Operation,` and `Value` (if applicable).

You can combine multiple filter conditions using either `And` or `Or` mode of operation.

### Deleting Filters
To remove a filter, click on the bin icon located to the right of the respective filter.

### Grouping Filters
You also have the option to group multiple filters together using a Filter Group.

## Enabling NULL and EMPTY Filters
By default, NULL filters (`is null` & `is not null`) and EMPTY filters (`is empty` & `is not empty`) are hidden. If you wish to filter out either of these explicitly, you can enable `Show NULL and EMPTY Filter` in [Project settings](/bases/actions-on-base#base-settings).

Before enabling `Show NULL and EMPTY Filter`:

![Show isBlank](/img/v2/table-operations/filter-is-blank.png)

Once enabled, you can use the `is null` & `is empty` filters to filter out cells with NULL or EMPTY values.

Alternatively, you can use Blank filters to filter out cells with NULL or EMPTY values.
