What settings steer the functionality of filtering in the grid? 

I have 4 similar lookup fields,  ID with lookup to base table..  and as far as I can see 2 have a filter option like below and 2 don't..  what setting causes this difference?  I want all fields to have a similar filter option. 

 

 

Hi Freddy,

There are some occasions when the Excel style filter is not visible
-    When it is a blob type
-    When the control type is Multiline/RTF/HTML/SQLEditor/Password/Signature 
-    When Visible for filter is set to Never (column setting)
-    When the Field width (px) of the column is <= 0 (column setting)
Could one of the above be the case?

Hi @Dick van den Brink 

Found it. The lookup from the ones that didn't work had a multi-line control type. 

So thanks! Problem solved.
