Table header filter behavior

Post by Satrapo »

Hello,
maybe a dumb question however I'll try to explain (Sorry for my poor english)

I'm using table header filters (excel type filter) for the first time. (v2024.4)

Consider this table as example:

[NUM] [CHAR]
1           A
1           B
2           C
2           D

I click on the filter icon on [NUM] and I see [1,2] as option, I select 1 and now my filtered list view is (as expected)

[NUM] [CHAR]
1           A
1           B

But now if I click on [CHAR] filter icon I see [A,B,C,D] as option. In an "excel type filter" here I would expect to find only [A,B] as option.

What I am missing?

Thanks

Please note that the options in Header Filter will not be filtered as well as the result in the table. That's why it uses the Checkbox control so that end-users are able to select his/her desired options.

So is not like column-filter in excel..

My problem is that I’m working on a simple table (brand - product - category) but with 200k records so for example if I use header filter on brand it will be great to find in the product-header filter list only products of previously filtered brand (like in excel table)

For such case, then you should not use Table Header Filter. You may use Extended Search instead.
