This project demonstrates two different methods for creating a list view using data from an API—in this case, [SpaceX public available API](https://docs.spacexdata.com/), which provides a list of rockets. The first method uses the [Data Viewer component](https://docs.thunkable.com/app-design/ui-components/data-components/data-viewers), which offers a quicker and more straightforward way to build the list.

Thank you very much for your answer, but I could not grasp this example. I have two tables in the airtable. I have ketagori names category icons in one table and category names of my products and category names in the other table. my aim is to filter the category names below according to the category name of the icon I click on in the list above, if I click on which category, the products in that category should be displayed below, I have searched a lot, but I could not find the slightest example about it, I would be grateful if you help me with this issue thank you.

Hello @letayazilimmvpq8h  
As “list 2” you will need to use a [filter view](https://docs.thunkable.com/getting-started/data-sources#add-filter-view).  
You can set the filter based on which list 1 item was clicked using the [“update filter for” block](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/app-features/data-sources-blocks#update-filter-for-block-overview)

Is there any example file or project for filtering a grid table? I want to display data in a file that contains images and titles and filter it based on the title names.
