Excel Like cumulative_filtering [feature request]
Closed this issue · 5 comments
Currently cumulative_filtering is correctly limiting the select list of other columns, while it doesn't correctly limit the current column self.
Not only it prevents multiselect with cumultative_filtering:true but also becomes very confusing to excel users.
Can this feature be upgraded in a way that cumulative_filtering is applied to rest of columns but not to self.
Thank you
I had the same problem with it. This happens when you use ajax.
I solved this to add condition in
if (!columnObj.select_type_options || !columnObj.select_type_options.ajax) {
if ((!columnObj.select_type_options || !columnObj.select_type_options.ajax) && $filter_selector[0].selectedIndex<0)
@tynort ,
Besides cumulative filtering, I couldn't make it work with JS object isntead of DOM, which prevented me from using deferRender. So I just wrote my own function that supports "excel like" cumulative filtering with deferRender and bootstrap-select for beautiful multiple selects.
@klukiyan can you elaborate / give an example to your original comment? because in the showcase it does allow selecting from the same column http://yadcf-showcase.appspot.com/cumulative_filtering.html
@vedmack interesting. Some ~5 months ago when I started using yadcf, I guess there was another example, or something was different. On this particular example it seems to work well.
Maybe it's because of select2 and multi-select. I was using single select without select2 extension and with cumulative_filtering on each column was impacting not only other columns, but also self. So to select something from a column, users had to firstly click the [x] to deselect current selection in the column
