# Filter Data Tables
The activity can keep or remove data tables in a list according to the filter conditions specified in the filter window.
### Input
* **Input** : [`Object Variable`](/getting-started/rpa-studio/variables.md)\
The input for this activity is an object variable that contains the data tables you want to filter.
{% hint style="info" %}
The Input property accepts only a list of **Data Table** or a list of **Object** as input.
{% endhint %}
### Configure
* **Filters** : \
In the configuration section, you can define the filter conditions that will be applied to the list of data tables. Each filter condition consists of table properties such as ColumnCount, RowCount, and ColumnName, along with operators and values that determine the filtering criteria. You can add multiple filter conditions by clicking the "+" button in the filter window.
{% hint style="info" %}
***Information*** :
* To create a new filter condition, click the "+" button in the filter window. To remove a filter condition, click the "x" button.
* Each filter condition requires specific table properties, operators, and values to filter the data table. Variables can be used in the filter conditions and should be represented as $VarName.
* The dropdown menu with options "Keep" and "Remove" determines whether the filtered records should be kept or removed from the data table.
* The "Clear" button removes all filter conditions except the default conditions.
{% endhint %}
### Output
* **Filtered Data Tables** : [`DataTable Variable`](/getting-started/rpa-studio/variables.md)\
The output of the activity is a DataTable variable that stores the resulting filtered list of data tables. This variable will contain the data tables that meet the specified filter conditions.
