How do I Save a Specific Filter within a DataBase
Yes, Custom View doesn't work with structured tables, that's directly mentioned in support page Create, apply, or delete a custom view (microsoft.com)
Why so - philosophic question, you may check discussions like this Custom VIews--menu selection is grayed out- - Microsoft Tech Community
If Custom Views no longer work with structured tables then is there a way to save specific sort/filter operations like Custom Views formerly did?
I would like to not have to go step by step rebuilding my sort/filter (Query?) process each time I have altered my data table.
PS: thanks for your response and help
Custom Views never worked with structured tables, and it didn't work with Lists which was introduced before tables long ago.
If we speak only about sorting/filtering you may use Sheet Views Sheet Views in Excel (microsoft.com) if file is kept online (on SharePoint/OneDrive).
- With all due respect, I viewed a video that clearly showed, mentioned, and discussed using Custom Views with Tables. Apparently, it was an earlier version, perhaps several versions earlier, but I would hesitate from saying Custom Views never worked with Tables. I can provide the video name and the time within the video when such a reference was made.
I will explore the Sheet Views option.
Again, thank you for your help.
