Assigned to filter error?

MPath

Hi all,

I have a sheet where we collect some suggestions, which are manually assigned to X person.

I wanted to add a filter where users can see all suggestions which are not Complete and are Assigned to Current user, but also BLANK.

But the BLANK does not function, at all. Even when I leave out any other rules in the filter, it stays empty. Only when I use IS BLANK

Do unassigned suggestions show, but then obviously I can not show where user is Current user (because for some reason filter in sheets are inferior to Report filters).

Any thoughts?

hi MPath,

Could it be that you are filtering by meeting "All Conditions" at once? and there is no row that meets all criteria?

Have you tried to change "All Conditions" to at leas 1 condition?

MPath

Hi @kowal,

I have, but unfortunatly I do need to filter on all conditions, otherwise rows that have status complete show, and I don't want to them to display.

I need to display rows that are not on status Complete, and are un-assigned or assigned the to logged in user.

@MPath ,

maybe there is some hidden text in the cells that you think are blank? like formula, linked cells, etc.

I created dozens of filters in Smartsheet and never had an issue to show blank cells.

MPath

No, they are really empty, no formula, nothing hidden. The only thing is I renames it to the Dutch translation of Assigned to (Toegewezen aan)

Hi,

I hope you're well and safe!

Can you share some screenshots of the sheet? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help.

Be safe, and have a fantastic day!
