+===== Filter by type =====
+This action filters values depending on their [[syntax:types|data type]]. Filtering can be done in several columns at once. Also multiple data types can be filtered at once.
+===Use cases===
+Filtering by type helps detect data quality issues. It also helps ensure that columns in exported dataset are strongly typed -- i.e. all values in a column are of the same type. This might be required before exporting into a target system with strongly typed fields, such as relational database or Tableau data extract.
+The "Filter by type" action is frequently followed by the [[transformations:halt|"Halt on condition"]] action that stops project execution if filtering returned a non-empty table with values of undesired types.
