    Hi Kollox , it would be more useful if support had advised how to make the Data Filter work on reports. 

     

    The Data filter requires a continuous block of data, with all column headings and no blank lines.

     

    Taking a sales register report as an example (below), you need to remove Row 11, which is blank, then insert a row before the totals. Then select any data cell, and enable the Data Filter.

Hi Kollox , welcome to the forum. Can you give an example of a report which won't filter in the new AccountRight?

 

Are you referring to the use of the data filter? Some reports come out with a blank line after the column headings, which prevents the data filter working properly.

    Hi Mike,

     

    I spoke to Myob support and they also advised that after exporting reports from Moyb the Excel data filter does not work. When you click for example to only choose lines with a particular customer name there are no choices in the filter. This happens in any reports exported into Excel.

        PS: Row 11 is very narrow, and hard to manage with just the mouse. To select it, press F5, then type 11:11 and click OK. Then press Ctrl+Minus to delete that row.
