I imagine this has been asked, but I have been poking around the forums trying to find an answer. If it's in here, please point me in the right direction.

Have been using the Need Found Dates tool and it is great and seeing the number of caches on the dates after filtering what I need to filter. I'd like to do the same for the D/T Matrix. I see the Map DT Matrix tool will show what I need, but I'd like to know what I have. For example, I'd like to know where I am on the D/T Matrix if I'm only filtering for EarthCaches or another cache type. IS this tool already here and I just overlooked it? Is it something being worked on, based on the beta label for the D/T History tool? It'd be a great tool to have.

Go to the D/T matrix section of your Profile Stats and then click the "Type: All" text in the upper right corner of that section. Repeat to show other types.

How long has that been available?  I never knew that was there until now.
A coupe of years, I think.
OK, thanks. I learned something new even though it's an old feature.
Nice feature. Never knew about it until now. That would be a faster way than my suggestion to see what you already have, but then you'd still need to use the tool to see what you can get to fill the gaps. But still good to know about this feature.
This is great! Simple and right there. Thanks for pointing it out.
After being enlightened to this hidden link, I started looking for something that would show me my matrix based on cache size. Does that exist?
There's not a ready-made display in the same way, but you can use the D/T Matrix tool and the "D/T Type/Size" filter to find the information. Note though that that's not the same as the "Cache Type/Size" filter. The latter only limits your suggestions while the first one also limits which of your finds it looks at, so that you can use it to fill the matrix with just a certain type or size.

Yes there is.

Using the "Map D/T Matrix" tool, once you've selected your profile name and your country of location then click on the "Add Filter" box and select "D/T Type / Size".

This will give you the opportunity to select specific types (such as Earthcache) and/or cache sizes, and the Grid will then tell you which combinations you already have, and the mapping should do the rest for you.

Hope that helps :)

I think the OP is looking for a filter that shows what they have already found and to my knowledge that doesn't exist at this point.
If you mean which D/T combinations he/she already has then my suggestion works.
If you mean a list with specific geocaches named then no it doesn't.

I interpreted "but I'd like to know what I have" to mean they wanted to know which D/T combinations they already had for specific types like the Earthcache example suggested.
I guess we will need to hear back from the OP but I read it as wanting to see a list of caches they have already found. This sentence is what makes me think this, "I see the Map DT Matrix tool will show what I need, but I'd like to know what I have." Also, the question actually states "my own found caches."  I'm not exactly sure how this could be useful, to be honest, unless it is for a challenge.
Yes. I was looking to see how the matrix filled in based not he caches I had, by type. I appreciate the response nonetheless.
