Here's how to add a filter shortcut in Excel:

1. Open the workbook that contains the data you want to filter.

3. On the Home tab, in the Editing group, click the Sort & Filter button.
4. Click the Filter button.
5. Click the Shortcut button.
6. In the Customize Quick Access Toolbar dialog box, click the Commands Not in the Ribbon option.
