Filter for Blank Dates Using Filter Row

[philipstratfordParticipant]

In the example on this page the Order Date column allows for sophisticated date filtering, including “Greater Than” and “Less Than”. It also allows filtering of null values.

Using the Filter Row, it seems that this level of sophistication is not possible for date filters. In the example given for a Filter Row the only way to filter dates is by a range or by a single date.

How can I use a Filter Row but still allow the user to filter on blank dates, or dates before a single specified date (or even after certain specified date)?

Hello philipstratford,

You could create a custom menu like in this demo.
Also, you could add an additional field and set custom logic for filtering.

Thanks for your reply. As far as I can see, a custom menu is not compatible with a filter row, so it does not meet my requirements. I understand that I can add a control outside of the grid to do the filtering, which it seems is probably the only solution, but this is not as tidy as being able to do the filtering using the grid’s filters.

Perhaps for future development you could consider giving the filter row feature parity with the filters available when the filter row is not enabled.

The following spec appears to work.

{ text: 'Last Login', 
   datafield: 'last_login', 
   filtertype: 'date', cellsformat: 'd',
   filtercondition: 'greater_than_or_equal'
},
