Cannot filter in the Table view
Hi homboy27,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum and the screenshot and explanation. Also, thanks to ryan_mayu, @ FBergamaschi, for those inputs on this thread.
This behaviour typically occurs when the column you are trying to filter (Employee Cost Center Text Short) contains only nulls, errors, or inconsistent data types. Here are a few steps to help resolve it.
In Data view (or Power Query), check if the column contains actual values or just blanks. If the column has errors or mixed types, try converting it explicitly to Text and remove any error rows.
In Power Query, ensure that you're viewing the entire dataset and not just the top 1000 rows. Also review any applied steps that might have affected this column (e.g., joins or filters).
Also, kindly refer to the below mentioned documentation links for better understanding:
Error handling - Power Query | Microsoft Learn
Data types in Power Query - Power Query | Microsoft Learn
Using the data profiling tools - Power Query | Microsoft Learn
Hope this helps clarify things and let me know what you find after giving these steps a try happy to help you investigate this further.
