What is the primary reason for filtering component worksheets in composite worksheets?

Filtering component worksheets within composite worksheets primarily aims to improve the performance of dependent composite worksheets. When dealing with large datasets, excessive amounts of data can lead to slower processing times and decreased responsiveness within the application. By implementing filters, users can focus only on relevant data, minimizing the volume of information that the composite worksheet needs to handle at any one time. This reduction in data allows for faster calculations and a more efficient overall operation, resulting in a smoother experience when navigating through complex datasets.

Enhancing graphical representation of data or simplifying the user interface have their own merits but do not directly address the performance impacts related to data processing in composite worksheets. Similarly, while reducing redundancy in data entry is important for data accuracy, it does not specifically tie to the filtering functionality aimed at improving performance.
