In the {{man label|Edit}} menu, click on {{man label|Column Editor}}, and select the columns you want to view. Next, activate {{man label|Filter}}. This can be done by going to the {{man label|View}} menu, and activating {{man label|Sidebar}}.

To the right of the list view, a sidebar will open, allowing to filter your data. At the bottom of this, you can select the newly created Custom Filter. Click on {{man button|Find}}, and all Persons/Families/Events/Places/Media/Sources/Citations/Repositories/Notes matching the filter are displayed.

Since the '''3.0 version''' you will have an option {{man label|Export view}} on the {{man label|Family Trees}} menu. This gives you the opportunity to export the view as a spreadsheet with following format options:

*Open Document Spreadsheet

Another '''3.0''' method would be that you select the {{man label|Export}} option on the {{man label|Family Trees}} menu. An '''Export Assistant''' view will be presented where you also can select the {{man label|Comma Separated Values Spreadsheet (CSV)}}. Next, click on the {{man button|Forward}} button and in the next screen you can select in the {{man label|Options}} view which filter you want to use and whether you want to include Indivuduals, Marriages and Children. Click once again on the {{man button|Forward}} button and you can save the file.

What you can do with a filter depends on the rules available to you in GRAMPS.
