Column dropdown menu filter items in PRO version

Getting help Questions
1

Hello,

Is it possible to add new filtering option to the condition section in the column dropdown (we would like to create an MS Excel like select filled with the distinct values from the column) and use our renderer for the inputs (date picker for the date columns; list of checkboxes for the by_value condition)

thanks,
David

Hi @david_horvath

you can modify dropdownMenu (take a look at this example http://jsfiddle.net/6q9w5702/) to create a custom option but unfortunately we do not provide filter creator.

We’ll use HT in some of our company’s products, so we bought the pro version, do you have any suggestions about how we can create an excel like filter for it without modifying your code? Can we extend the filter plugin or any option in the builder or something?
Cheers

Hi @david_horvath I tried to develop an easy way to extend filters by a custom one but it surely will take longer than an hour of work and another one for testing.

I will add this idea as a feature request so it can be implemented in spare time but if you would like it to be available faster only thing I can recommend is development on demand. If you want to choose this option please contact us at support@handsontable.com

Hi, our company is also interested in an excel-like column filtering feature. Has there been any progress on such a feature being implemented?

Hi @mkanevsky currently we offer filtering by condition (demo at: https://docs.handsontable.com/pro/1.0.0/demo-filtering.html) we’re working on providing filtering by value but it’s in the early programming stage.

What other ideas do you have to extend our filtering feature?
