Filtering columns on dashboards

elp178_0-1682454230056.png

The above dashboard used to allow filtering by column headers. Without making edits, all of a sudden we were no longer able to do so. Highligthed in the yellow above shoes the little arrow under the colum header that allows you to organize the column alphabetically. Please help

@elp178 ,The information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me. Can you please explain with an example?

 

Are you looking for field parameter functionality?

Hi,

I am not talking about the power querey data. I am talking about building a dashboard dynamic table. So say we have a column header with peoples name, we usued to be able to click the column header (with the tiny triangle highlighted above) and it would filter/alaphabetized/group the names. Or if it was a date column it would organize it accending or decending dates if u clicked on the column header. hope this helps.
