Description Eyal Rozenberg 2024-12-13 18:35:31 UTC
When I open the context menu in a cell in a column within an AutoFilter range, and that column is non-trivially filtered - I think it would be nice if I could clear the filter from that menu.

One might as "does that merit putting on the context menu"? Well, if "Data Validation" is in there, I don't see why this shouldn't... and the context menu is not that chock-full of items.

The Autofilter works on the entire column. I do not see, why it should be changed from the context menu of a single cell. For clearing the filter the item "Clear Filter" in the drop-down of the filter is sufficient.

Or do I not understand your request?

I had bug 123560, not about the same but it's apparently near

Because the cell is part of that column.

That works, certainly, but - it's more convenient if you don't have to scroll up, clear the filter, and possibly scroll down again.

I can get used to the idea.
