Filter number, text, and formatting values

Do a multi-level filter

Why we do this What we are to do
to demonstrate facility with a number filter,
after having used an exclusion filter to show only one subset of data
Use a multilevel filter on the 12-Multilevel Filter 02 worksheet
to find out which of counties in the State of North Carolina (filter out "North Carolina" column C as well) had an above average Net_International_Migration_Rate_2010_2019

The first step above is a simple select filter, in which one selects the value one desires from a list of possibilities.

Having filtered that column, we use a second filter on a second column. This will be a number filter, in which one uses the above average ... function in the dialog box.
