# Use the data panel

## The Data panel helps you gain insights into the relationship between the data and its geography by displaying thematic data.

     The **Data** panel helps you gain insights into the relationship between the data and its geography by displaying thematic data.

     This is the **Data** panel icon: 

![data-tab](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/data-tab.png?width=56&name=data-tab.png)

     The panel's tab indicates the total number of features of the current layer between parenthesis.

![data-table](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/data-table.png?width=650&name=data-table.png)

     The data panel is configured in this way:   
          - [interactivity](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/use-the-data-panel#basic),  
          - [filter](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/use-the-data-panel#filter),  
          - [data settings](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/use-the-data-panel#settings).

###      Interactivity

- When displaying numeric thematic data, bar charts are included in each row to help view and compare values in the data set. If a thematic analysis is currently displayed on the map, the colour used in the bar charts of the corresponding thematic data column are the same as the colours used in the legend.

- When mousing over a row, the corresponding map feature is highlighted on the map.

- You can click on a row to select it. The row will be highlighted in the data panel, the corresponding map feature will be highlighted on the map and that row will be added to the **Selection** panel. Note that you can perform multiple selections using the SHIFT or CTRL keys.

- Double-click on a row to zoom to the feature on the map.

- To sort rows in alphabetic or numeric order, click on the column title.

- To reorder columns, click on the column title and drag to the new location.

- To resize a column, click on the border of the column and drag to the desired width.

- You can also **Filter** the rows on any data column to display only a subset of data.

     **Tools**

**     Statistics**

The ![statistics](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/statistics-1.png?width=27&name=statistics-1.png) Statistics button allows you to switch between the table view and the statistics view. The statistics view summarizes the individual records from the table view. Filters and selections are taken into account in the statistics view.

Each line of the statistic view is a statistical aggregation method. Aggregation methods are written under the first column. Each data column value is then summarized using each method.

![statistics-view](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/statistics-view.png?width=688&name=statistics-view.png)

*There are 936 postal codes selected in this example. The population sum is 3,871,865. The density mean is 310.08.*

**     Paging**

###      Filter

     The **Filter** option is used to display a subset of the data on the map, as well as in the **Data** panel, **Chart** and **Legend**.

![filtre-870x599](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/filtre-870x599.png?width=688&name=filtre-870x599.png)

     The **Filter** tools are:

####      Filter by check box

You can check each value individually when there are 50 different values or less in a string thematic data or 10 different values or less in a numeric thematic data.

![filter-list](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/filter-list.png?width=191&name=filter-list.png)

####      Filter by a logical expression

Logical expressions are used to filter values when there are more than 50 different values in a string thematic data or more than 10 different values in a numeric thematic data.

**String thematic data**

The logical expressions available to filter text values are:

![filter-text-expressions](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/filter-text-expressions.png?width=182&name=filter-text-expressions.png)

For example, you can filter the features whose name contain the word "Mary":

![filter-text-example](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/filter-text-example.png?width=659&name=filter-text-example.png)

####      Numeric thematic data

     The logical expressions available to filter numeric values are:

![filter-text-expressions](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/filter-text-expressions.png?width=182&name=filter-text-expressions.png)

     For example, you can filter the features whose Area column is between 50.00 and 99.99 square km:

![filter-numeric-example](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/filter-numeric-example.png?width=659&name=filter-numeric-example.png)

####      Multiple filters

     Note that it is also possible to apply filters on multiple columns as well as on multiple layers to perform more targeted analysis.

![filter-example-data](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/filter-example-data.png?width=688&name=filter-example-data.png)

     The **Data Settings** is used to change the list of thematic data displayed in the Data panel.
