r/libreoffice on Reddit: LibreOffice Calc - Auto Filter Bug
September 5, 2019 -

Feel like this is a recent bug/issue I saw in the last few days (or week).

  • Apply an Auto Filter to data.

  • Select a few filter criteria on some columns. - and then here the data gets filtered/subset based on the filter criteria.

  • Go to Data->Auto Filter->Reset Filter - all the data rows reappear, however the same filter criteria appear to be active on the columns filtered previously.

    • Click the columns, and see that the criteria is still active. But remember, all the data is now showing.

  • Go to another column and try to apply a new filter - can't do that because that column's filter criteria are filtered based on the previously applied criteria.

  • So to reset filter - go to each column manually and select All filter criteria.

Hope I explained it clearly.

Did I accidentally flip some setting or switch? Or has anyone else noticed this as well?

EDIT: Kind related to this, I notice my Auto Filter gets really slow above 1000 rows or so of data. Anything I can change? I'm on Ubuntu 18.04, LibreOffice version 6.3.0.4

Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc SLOW with filtering large data set – The Document Foundation Mailing List Archives
February 19, 2018 - So why would Calc run so slow when filtering using LO 6 on a Windows 10 machine but so fast when running LO 5 on a Windows 7 machine? And is there any connection to Excel being so slow on both machines? ... I work with large spreadsheets and have used both Excel and Calc in the past. I have a large file with 10 or so sheets, many of which are large and one has just over 35,000 records.

Applying Filters
Filters and advanced filters allow you to work on certain filtered rows (records) of a data range. In the spreadsheets in LibreOffice there are various possibilities for applying filters. One use for the AutoFilter function is to quickly restrict the display to records with identical entries in a data field.

Apache OpenOffice Community Forum - Auto Filter Very Slow - (View topic)
February 1, 2013 - I'm not sure what the problem is; in my limited experience, the autofilter can be slow with large data sets and the response time can vary depending on how many rows are filtered out. Did you actually define the names, under Insert > Names? Or did you let Calc handle the names automatically?

r/libreoffice on Reddit: Searching within a filter (7.4, Calc)
October 14, 2022 - On a long table this saves having to manually scroll through each of the items, you could type part of a word to narrow things down. I've just upgraded and it seems like the only way of searching a list in this way is to go to filter by condition > standard filter and using the "contains" condition which takes significantly longer. Is there something I'm missing or is there a way of restoring the old search functionality? ... Libreoffice 7.4.2 on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed has the same issue, there is no Search Text Box in AutoFilter.
