# Filter Rows

Use the Filter Rows feature to remove or add data points from all or a range of slides at once. 

**Do Not Apply:** This is our default setting. If you leave the drop-down selection as “Do Not Apply”, we will not remove or add any rows from the slides you are applying settings to. 

**By Name:** allows you to remove or add rows that contain exactly the same text. 

*Example:* 

* *I have a “Don’t know” option in slide 1 and 2, but not in slide 3.*
* *On slide 1, I remove the “Don’t know” option and apply the settings using “By Name” to slides 2 and 3.*
* *“Don’t know” will be removed from slide 2 and nothing will happen on slide 3.*

**By Position:** allows you to remove or add rows based on their location in the chart. 

*Example:* 

* *I have a “Don’t know” option in slide 1, and it is the 5th response option in the chart.* 
* *If I apply the settings using “By Position” to slide 2 and 3, the 5th response option will be removed, regardless of whether it says “Don’t Know” or something completely different.*
