It is when you want to get some data that fits some criteria out of a full list of data, like you would in a database. So if you had a list of people, you might want to extract the ones who are over a certain age or who are male or who live in a certain place. Excel provides that facility. The extracted data can be listed separately to the full list of data. This can done using filters.
