Common questions about WPS Filter on Android usually involve finding the entry, understanding filtered results, and using membership-related export options.
FAQ
Why can’t I see the filter arrows after I tap Filter?
- Make sure the current file is a spreadsheet instead of another document type.
- Check whether you already opened Tools → Data or the row and column floating menu bar.
- Confirm that the sheet has a header row or that you selected the target rows or columns.
- Tap Filter again and check whether drop-down arrows appear next to the column headers.
Does filtering delete my original data?
- No. Filtering only hides rows that do not match the current condition.
- When you remove the filter or turn Filter off, the original rows appear again.
- If you want a separate output of the filtered data, use the membership-related export option.
Why does copying filtered data only copy visible rows?
- This is a common result when a filter is active.
- The visible area represents the rows that match the current condition, so copying usually follows the visible result.
- If you need the full data range, remove the filter or turn Filter off before copying.
Why can’t I use Export filtered results?
- Make sure you already applied a filter and opened the filter menu for the target column.
- Check whether the option shows a membership indicator.
- If your account does not include the required membership benefit yet, subscribe first and then try again.
- You can review subscription options on the pricing page.
