Automatic update of a filter

You can also refer to the case number 06010231:

I have a list of projects, that need to be reviewed in a meeting, which is hold only on Mondays. Different projects are filtered from the list (depending on the date, for which they are scheduled) and build the agenda for the upcoming meeting. Automatic update of the filter can keep my items organized and relevant to the current needs of the following meeting. It can extract only the relevant information that matches specific criteria (next Monday from the standpoint of current week). In a scenario where the data is updated regularly, it is essential to have the filter updated automatically to reflect these changes.

In this case, the need for automatic updates can be understood as follows:

  1. Consistency: The automatic update of the filter to show following Monday ensures that the data is always up-to-date and relevant to the current needs. This provides consistency in the results obtained from the filter.
  2. Time-saving: The automatic update saves time and reduces the manual effort required to update the filter from different team members. This eliminates the need for manual intervention and ensures that the filter is updated regularly and on schedule.
  3. Accuracy: The automatic update eliminates the possibility of human error, ensuring that the filter is updated accurately.
  4. Reliability: The automatic update ensures that the filter is updated regularly, regardless of the availability of the person responsible for updating the filter. This enhances the reliability of the results obtained from the filter.

For more details I'm happy to showcase our example to understand better our needs.

Kind regards,

Katja Posoldova

    You could include a formula in a checkbox column that will check the box on all rows where [Date] is "next week" or whatever other criteria you need then create your report based on this checkbox.
