What it does

Match any column with the right operator

Text operators

Equals, not equals, contains, does not contain, starts with, ends with. Match values in any column with case-sensitive or insensitive comparison.

Numeric operators

Greater than, less than, and between. Filter orders above a certain value, ISO dates (YYYY-MM-DD) in a range, or any numeric column. Rows with non-numeric values won't match a numeric rule, but the rest of the file processes normally.

Blank detection

Is blank and is not blank operators find rows with missing data. Clean up incomplete records or extract only complete entries.

List matching

Is one of and is not one of match against a comma-separated list. Pull rows for specific countries, product codes, or statuses. For values containing commas, join equals rules with OR.

AND/OR logic

Combine multiple rules with AND (all must match) or OR (any must match). On Pro, nest groups for complex logic like (A AND B) OR (C AND D).

Advanced patterns and second-file exportPro

Match patterns like phone formats, postcodes, or SKU shapes. On the same job, save the rows that didn't match to a second file so you can review what was filtered out.

How to use it

Three steps to extract

1

The alternative

Doing it yourself

This is what filtering looks like without a tool.

In Excel or Google Sheets

1Click the filter icon on the header row
2Apply a filter on one column at a time
3For complex logic (e.g. "status is active AND country is UK OR US"), use Advanced Filter with a criteria range
4Copy the visible rows to a new sheet (hidden rows can get included if you're not careful)
5Save the new sheet as a separate file and repeat for each filter set

5-15 minutes per filter

Advanced Filter exists but requires a separate criteria range. Copy-paste of filtered rows can accidentally include hidden rows. Repeat for every filter set.

Unwanted rows might not be the only problem in that file

Upload it and Bridgeant reviews the file before you commit to a tool. It reports what it finds, orders the problems by how much they actually matter, and points you at the tool for each one. That is on every plan including Free, and it works from a summary of your file rather than the contents.

On Pro and up it stops advising and starts doing. Describe the job in a sentence and Bridgeant plans the steps, shows you the plan, and runs them in the right order once you approve. You are not running four jobs by hand and trying to remember which came first.

Common questions

Filter & Extract FAQ

Can I combine multiple filter rules?

Yes. Add as many rules as you need and combine them with AND (all must match) or OR (any must match). On Pro, you can nest groups for complex logic.

What operators are available?

Fourteen: equals, not equals, contains, does not contain, starts with, ends with, greater than, less than, between, is blank, is not blank, is one of, is not one of, and matches pattern. Every one is free on every plan except advanced patterns, which is a Pro feature.

Can I filter on numbers and dates?

Yes. Greater than, less than, and between work with numeric values. Dates in YYYY-MM-DD format sort correctly for range comparisons.

What happens to rows that don't match?

They're excluded from the output by default. On Pro, Team, and Agency, you can enable non-matching export to save them to a separate file so you can review what was filtered out.

Is the search case-sensitive?

Case-insensitive by default. Toggle case sensitivity on if you need exact case matching.

Does it work with multi-tab workbooks?

Yes. The tool reads the workbook's first tab by default, and a tab picker under the upload switches to any other. To filter across every tab at once, combine the tabs into one list in Merge Files first; the optional Source Tab column keeps track of where each row came from.

How many rows can I filter?

Up to 2,000 on Free, 50,000 on Pro, 75,000 on Team, and 150,000 on Agency.
