Filter by Color

jdavidso · 07/23/18

Is it possible to filter a sheet by color (either font color or cell color)?

It is not possible to filter by those criteria themselves, but if the colors are determined by Conditional Formatting, you can filter by the same rules.

Thanks for the quick reply. My use case is not related to Conditional Formatting, so I'll submit a product enhancement request.

Hmm... Maybe in the meantime a dropdown box as a helper column (or if there are only two types, a checkbox column) for a work around. You could then filter based off of that. I know it's one more step, but at least then you'll be able to do your filtering?

Great workaround suggestion, thank you!

Having a filter by color would be very helpful. I don't see a workaround for my use case. I have a list of fees (numbers) in a column and want to identify which are secured or unsecured.

Hi,

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? That would make it easier to help. (You can share them too, andree@getdone.se)

Have a fantastic weekend!

Best,
