The listed criteria, i.e. genre, topic, class, etc. are supposed to work analogically to hashtags. Although this function is not supported natively by the .xlsx format or its equivalents, there is a workaround which utilizes the filtering command. Thus, in order to isolate the units belonging to a particular genre, marked by a particular topic, containing a particular entity, etc. do the following:
- click on the filter button in the respective row,
- select "text filters",
- choose "contains",
- input the desired tag with asterisks (e.g. *satan*) and click OK.
- click on the filter button (it displays a little triangle when active),
- click "Clean filters from..."
