Filtering in a sheet
I'm creating a filter where i select a few items from a list and also blank items. But when I apply the filter it doesn't return the blank items? i can create the filter using the "any of the following conditions" but then i can't include other conditions that i want. Any idea why the blank rows aren't returned?
Is there any plan to create a more flexible system for filter instead of all AND or all OR conditions? Where you could have a combination of ANDs and ORs?

Hi @jessbentley
I hope you're well and safe!
My guess is that the "Blank" cells aren't really blank.
Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help.
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!

I think the cell is actually blank, because i created this filter:
and it does return the blank rows. We would like to add another condition for a different field, but can't do that because it has to be all ORs. somehow it seems like the "is blank" works differently that the blank checkbox in the other filter.

I'd be happy to take a quick look.
