I have a SharePoint list with a large number of entries. There is a Date/Time column in the following format: mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm. I have need to filter the data between yesterday at 14:00 and today at 13:59. I've search high and low but have not been able to find a solution. Ideas? Thanks!52KViews0likes5Comments"Filter by" on Sharepoint brings zero results but item is on the list (when theres a space at end)
Hello, One thing that's really a bummer when using the "Filter By" on a sharepoint list column is that it only filters for exact string matches. So for example, if a have a column for NAME, and i am trying to filter for JOHN, i will have to manually select every JOHN for my list. The worst about this is when for example the name you are trying to filter had been typed with a space at the end, for example "JOHN "....In that case, sharepoint will show the name JOHN on the dropdown list to be filtered for, but when you apply the filter, the list will not include that existing result. Here below is an example of what i am talking about: I have an column named NOME COMPLETO (which means full name) and i am trying to filter for an specific entry "Ricardo de souza tiburcio". The item appears on the list when no filter is applied (see below): Since the item exists, the filter dropdown on the column NOME COMPLETO recognizes the item and shows it as possible to be filtered for (see below). But in the column NOME COMPLETO the item was actually included with an space at the end ("Ricardo de souza tiburcio "). So when i click to apply the filter for this name, the list shows zero results, making it seems like the item does not exist This brings quite headaches trying to explain to people that its actually a programming mistake on sharepoint, and makes mandatory for me to review every new item on my lists and make sure that people are not including spaces at the end of items in any free text string column, otherwise people will not be able to find the item afterwards. Since i am not the one that includes the items but still is my job to make sure the list remains functional, this gives me a lot of wasted extra work to care for. Does anyone have a way to work around this, or anyone have any information regarding microsoft updating this mistake? This seems to be really really simple for microsoft to adjust in order to let this problem hang in there for years in a roll Appreciate any replies, thanks2.1KViews0likes2CommentsList filters now displayed above lists
I noticed recently that directly above my sharepoint online lists, filters are always being displayed. And it is pulling in the actual column names rather than the displayed column names. Because of this, it is difficult to determine what the columns are and what that text is doing on the page (If you don't know they are filters). I'm talking about the code for spaces and other characters such as _x0020_ or _x0027_ or etc. Also, the column may have been re-purposed and the actual column name has nothing to do with the current content in the column. If Pernille-Eskebo is watching these threads, please push out an update to have the filters above lists use their displayed column title which can include spaces, etc. Now that there is no uservoice site, I'm not sure where to submit bugs/RFEs to.1.1KViews0likes0CommentsModern experience Filters pane for Multivalued Lookup column misbehaving
We have an Online (M365) SharePoint, Modern experience, hosting a Document Library “DocLib”, with a [Countries] multivalued lookup column targeting column [Country] in a “Countries” List. This List also contains a [Region] column which relates any country to a specific region, and this column is imported in “DocLib” resulting in another column, [Countries:Region]. As [Countries] is multivalued, [Countries:Region] appears to be multivalued as well. But filtering, using the standard Filters pane behaves strangely on [Countries:Region]. We expected to be able to filter on any individual region a document can be relating to (through the countries the document is relating to). However, here is what we get: Instead of individual [Region] values, we get, in the Filters pane, individual “Sets of Regions” resulting from all regions related to all countries in [Countries] but there is more… Selecting individual Regions, work just as expected. In the picture you see Regions “Middle-East” and “Africa” selected and on the left, you can see that any document with at least one country belonging to these regions are displayed On the other hand selecting “Middle-East; Middle-East” in the Filters pane, which results from relating a document to both Oman and Saudi Arabia in my exemple, gives no result at all My expectation would be – Having in the [Countries:Region] Filters pane any individual distinct regions linked to the countries the documents in the view are relating to THIS IS NOT WORKING Also, No "combinations of regions" should appear in the pane, they do not work anyway Selecting the regions in the Filters pane would keep the documents that relates at least one of these selected regions - THIS IS WORKING JUST FINE Except that not all regions are displayed if not appearing individually and alone on any of the document of the view! Is this a bug? Did I miss something?1.7KViews0likes3CommentsSharePoint Task List Project - Unable to filter certain tasks from view
Hello everyone, I have a SharePoint task list project. On the task list I created a view that filters out tasks that are 100% complete. The filter works on all completed tasks with the exception of one. I have tried using different filter criteria (such as 'completed = no') to no avail. This one completed task in particular refuses to be filtered out of the view. Has anyone encountered an issue like this before?821Views0likes0CommentsSharepoint 2013 - Custom List View Filter - Alert me is not sending emails
