# Combining filters, Masters and drilldown

By selecting the right combinations you can get right to the precise question you wish to ask of the data.  In the example shown below, we have:

**1.** Selected a filter to show colour only;   
**2.** Selected the Operations department from the Master;   
**3.** Drilled down to show the cost trend for .DOC

The result is that we can see the trend for colour word documents in the operations department.
