Filter button greyed out

Arnaud Giusti

Hi,

For a few days, when accessing a sheet, the "Filter" button is greyed out until the sheet is saved. As well, the "Save" icon is already available from the opening of the sheet even if no modification is done (see image). In the past, the filter button was available from the opening and the save icon only available when a change in the sheet is done.

Has anyone any idea on the reason of such button availability?

Thanks,

Arnaud

Hi @Arnaud Giusti,

Does your sheet have fields that can change on a day-to-day basis via automation? If so, from my experience, some of the fields only update once the sheet is loaded, and therefore the sheet needs to be save to account for the changes made.

Hi @John_Foster

Several sheets have that automation but even those without present the same "greyed out" filter and Save button activated since opening.

I believe that even if an automation is to be done on a day-to-day basis, the filter would not be grey.

Had you already experienced that filter issue?

Thanks,

Best,

Arnaud

Hi @Arnaud Giusti

I hope you're well and safe!

Strange!

Is it in the browser or the app?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Hi @Andrée Starå,

I'm doing well thanks. Hope you're doing fine as well.

This is in the Browser. I haven't tested the software recently.

This issue is not a big deal but it would be good if it can be solved.

Have a great day,

Best,

Arnaud

I noticed the same thing today on my sheets. I clicked Save and everything went back to normal.

Any Idea on what's going on?

I have several colleagues that are alarmed that the filter button is not available. After explaining that after saving they can filter again they are reinsured. However, this would be nice to find how to deal with this.

Note that I used Chrome and Mozilla and that both experience the same issue.

Cheers.
