# Filter on date fields

Use the following steps to add a filter that matches a specific value:

1. In the toolbar, click **Filters**.

   The **Filters Panel** appears above the report.
2. Click and drag a **date field** from the right pane into the **Filters** area.

   The Filters dialog box opens.
3. Next to the field name, choose a date constraint from the list, then click the small arrow on the right to display the date picker.

   To create a "date range" you must add two filters: one for the start date, and one for the end date.
4. In the date picker, choose your date.
5. Click **OK** to save your filter.

The report display updates as soon as the filter is added. The filter appears in the **Filter** box and an icon displays next to the field name in the **Data** tab. Also, the number of filters added to the report appears next to the filter icon in the toolbar.

You can edit the filter by clicking **Edit**. You can delete the filter by clicking the **Delete** button.
