# Filter your data in the AWS Billing and Cost Management console **Warning** We're currently releasing our new experience to a limited number of customers. You might not be able to access this experience yet. With Cost Explorer, you can filter how you view your AWS costs by one or more of the following values: + API operation + Availability Zone + Billing entity + Charge type + Include all + Instance type + Legal entity + Linked account + Platform + Purchase option + Region + Resources + Service + Tag + Tenancy + Usage type + Usage type group You can use Cost Explorer to see which service you use the most or apply multiple filters to look at intersecting datasets. The following procedure shows you how to filter your cost and usage graph based on DynamoDB usage only. **To filter your data** 1. Open the Billing and Cost Management console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/costmanagement/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/costmanagement/). 1. For **Filters**, choose a **Service**, and then select **DynamoDB**. You can filter by entering DynamoDB in the search box. 1. Choose **Apply**. To save this view, use your browser's bookmark feature to save your settings. If your view has a forecast, it won't be saved, and instead Cost Explorer displays the most recent forecast when you revisit your saved chart. ## Use multiple filters to show data in common You can combine filters to show data in common. You can use up to 1024 filters in Cost Explorer. When you select multiple filters, Cost Explorer uses AND. This means if you filter for service of Amazon EC2 and tag of Prod, only data about Amazon EC2 resources tagged with the Prod tag is shown. When you select multiple values within a filter, Cost Explorer uses OR. ## Filter and group options In Cost Explorer, you can filter by the following groups. Note that these are not the same filters as filtering the data that you want to view. API operation Requests made to and tasks performed by a service, such as write and get requests to Amazon S3. Availability Zone Distinct locations within a Region that are insulated from failures in other Availability Zones. They provide inexpensive, low-latency network connectivity to other Availability Zones in the same Region. Billing entity Helps you identify whether your invoices or transactions are for AWS Marketplace or for purchases of other AWS services. Charge type Different types of charges or fees. + **Credit**: Any AWS credits that are applied to your account. + **Other out-of-cycle charges**: Any subscription charges that aren't upfront reservation charges or support charges. + **Refund**: Any refunds that you received. Refunds are listed as a separate line item in the data table. They don't appear as an item in the chart because they represent a negative value in the calculation of your costs. The chart displays only positive values. + **Reservation applied usage**: Usage that AWS applied reservation discounts to. + **Tax**: Any taxes that are associated with the charges or fees in your cost chart. Cost Explorer adds all taxes together as a single component of your costs. If you select five or fewer filters, Cost Explorer displays your tax expenses as a single bar. If you select six or more filters, Cost Explorer displays five bars, stacks, or lines, and then aggregates all remaining items, including taxes, into a sixth bar, stack slice, or plot line that's labeled Other. Cost Explorer displays your tax costs in the chart only when you choose Monthly drop down. + **Usage**: Usage that AWS didn't apply reservation discounts to. Instance type The type of RI that you specified when you launched an Amazon EC2 host, Amazon RDS instance class, Amazon Redshift node, or Amazon ElastiCache node. The instance type determines the hardware of the computer used to host your instance. Legal entity The Seller of Record of a specific product or service. In most cases, the invoicing entity and legal entity are the same. Possible values include: + **Amazon Web Services, Inc.** – The entity that sells AWS services. + **Amazon Web Services India Private Limited** – The local Indian entity that acts as a reseller for AWS services in India. Linked account The member accounts in an organization. Platform The operating system that your RI runs on. Platform is either Linux or Windows. Purchase option The method you choose to pay for your Amazon EC2 instances. This includes Reserved Instances, Spot Instances, Scheduled Reserved Instances, and On-Demand Instances. Region The geographic areas where AWS hosts your resources. Resources The unique identifier for your resources. Service AWS products. To learn what's available, see [AWS Products and Services](https://aws.amazon.com/products/). Tag A label that you can use to track the costs associated with specific areas or entities within your business. Tenancy Specifies if the Amazon EC2 instance is hosted on shared or single-tenant hardware. Some tenancy values include Shared (Default), Dedicated, and Host. Usage type Usage types are the units that each service uses to measure the usage of a specific type of resource. For example, the `BoxUsage:t2.micro(Hrs)` usage type filters by the running hours of Amazon EC2 t2.micro instances. Usage type group Usage type groups are filters that collect a specific category of usage type filters into one filter. For example, `BoxUsage:c1.medium(Hrs)`, `BoxUsage:m3.xlarge(Hrs)`, and `BoxUsage:t1.micro(Hrs)` are all filters for Amazon EC2 instance running hours, so they are collected into the EC2: Running Hours filter. Usage type groups are available for DynamoDB, Amazon EC2, ElastiCache, Amazon RDS, Amazon Redshift, and Amazon S3. The specific groups available to your account depend on what services you've used. The list of groups that might be available includes but isn't limited to the following: DDB: Data Transfer - Internet (In) Filters by the costs associated with how many GB are transferred to your DynamoDB databases.
