> Also filtering is essential. So nice to be able to see all the values in the filter dropdown, easy to quickly spot weird values.

This is not "filtering", this is faceted search.

I am also a big fan of faceted search, and I found the occasional writing of Simon Willison’s on the topic very informative.

I was sloppy and meant "filtering as implemented in Excel".
