Table Filter is one of the three macros bundled in Table Filter and Charts for Confluence add-on. This macro allows you to filter your table data with the following filter types:

Drop-down filter fetches all the unique values from the selected table column and allows you to select one or multiple values to filter your table by.
Free text filter allows you to enter custom text query to filter data in the selected column. This filter support regular expression so you can enter custom text queries for flexible data filtration.
Global filter works the same way as free text filter but it filters data throughout the whole table.
Number range filter allows you to specify the number ranges for filtering data values within the pre-defined range.
Date filter allows you to select the time period for showing data values.
Visual filter allows you to select the appropriate icons, emoticons, images or state of check boxes for filtration.
