+## Description
+
+I need to display which columns in a RadGrid are being filtered and what the specific filter values are for each column. The goal is to show this information in a label or a similar control above the RadGrid to let users know what filters are currently applied.
+
+This knowledge-base article also answers the following questions:
+- How can I show the active filters of a RadGrid?
+- What method can I use to display the filtered columns and their values in RadGrid?
+- Is it possible to list the current filters applied to a RadGrid above it?
+
+## Solution
+
+To display the filtered columns and their respective values above a RadGrid control, iterate through the columns, retrieve the details of the applied filters, and then display this information:
+
+1. Handle the `ItemCommand` event of the RadGrid.
+2. Loop through the columns to check which ones have filters applied.
+3. Retrieve the selected checkbox values for each column with Excel-like filtering.
+
+````C#
+protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
+{
+    if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.HeaderContextMenuFilterCommandName)
+    {
+        foreach (GridColumn column in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Columns)
+        {
+            string[] filterValues = column.ListOfFilterValues;
+
+            if (filterValues != null && filterValues.Length > 0)
+            {
+                string columnName = column.UniqueName;
+                string selectedValues = string.Join(", ", filterValues);
+
+                // Update your display control accordingly
+                Response.Write("Column: " + columnName + ", Selected Values: " + selectedValues);
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+````
