Using Nested (Multi level) Filters in Primavera P6

Nested Filters are a powerful feature for refining data by placing one filter inside another. By adding additional levels to the filter hierarchy, you can create complex, layered filters. Follow these steps to build a Nested Filter:

Steps to Create a Nested Filter

1. Start with a Basic Filter

• Create a normal filter using “All of the following” conditions.

2. Add a Nested Condition

• Click “Add” and select “All of the following” condition again next to “And” to insert one filter inside another.

• Add another row and this new row will automatically indent, creating a Level 2 filter.

3. Adjust Filter Levels

• Use the directional arrows in the lower-right corner to move rows up or down the item as needed.

4. Combine “And” & “Or” Logic

• Add another row and select “Any of the following” condition. This allows you to combine “And” and “Or” logic within the same filter.
