14. Undo filters until line is clear, prior to the next scenario
Example

The example is “How many: Active Duty, Enlisted, Female, Single Soldiers Assigned to WK0101??
TAPDB REC STAT DESC: Use the drop down menu to filter for Active Duty
CURRENT RANK AB: Use the drop down filter to choose all Enlisted personnel
SEX CD: Use the drop down filter to choose Females
MARTL STAT DESCR: Use the drop down filter to choose Single.
Of the 197 personnel, 7 are Active Duty, Enlisted, Female, Single Soldiers.
If needed in percentages, 7/197 = or 3.7%
Prior to the next sequence of filters, undo all filters until the ready line is empty.
7/197 = or 3.7%
Undo filters until line is clear, prior to the next scenario
