Column filtering based on a list of values

[joejet2222]

Excellent, excellent project.

Was trying to see if I could have multiple filters within a column. Thus, filtering within a column could be within multiple fields. For example, in a column, if there were A, B, C...you could, filter on A and B which would yield A, B (no C) rather than just A, just B, or just C. I don't think it was designed to handle this, but would definitely love to hear suggestions as to the possibility.

Many thanks.

I agree this would be a worthwhile addition at some point.

Multiple column sorting would also be a very helpful feature.

@joejet2222 I hope you don't mind if I "stole" your thread. I want this one to be the place for sharing ideas and snippets related to multi-value column filter, regardless of whether these values can be combined or not in a search.

Here is a bit of inspiration until we get the feature developed.

This one combines the principles of custom formatting, header templating with custom column filtering based on a set of values.

Perfect. Just what I needed. Thanks again, MoonStorm. I'm working on a large project combining trNgGrid with angular-xeditable. It was tricky at first and there have been a few hiccups. This plunkr solved a major issue. You are the man.

I expanded upon the concept in the plunker example (above) and created a custom directive that extends the TrNgGrid functionality. In case anyone wants to use it I put it on my blog:
