Filtering by Person/Group does not return results
I clicked on "Person/Group" column and manually typed in a person's name. I waited for the results to appear and then clicked on the name I wanted. I can see in the header that 1 value has been sele...
Sounds like you possibly have 2 entries for the same user in your directory? Possibly a guest user or something that you may be selecting when searching?
ChrisWebbTech I randomly selected 3 different users, with the same result. I cannot confirm 100% if they have guest accounts too, but I do doubt it... how do I check this or what else can I do?
- Do you have your column settings to allow all users or some other option for available users you can use to populate the list?
ChrisWebbTech All I did was create a new column, select it as Person/Group type and then at the option of "Choose from", I checked "All Users". The other option was "SharePoint Group".
Note that my list has about 4000 rows.
I went into a test list of about 20 rows and did the same thing on the Person/Group column. Method 1 of type name and select, worked! Could this be related to the size of the list?
- Don't think so I have a list that's got over 4000 items and a person column that is filtering just fine. I'm wanting to lean towards some data issues, but I don't see how that would be since it kind of forces you to have proper data in the list, at least I think it does. Maybe export to Excel the list and check the column for some odd data in that column?
