I have a 5 columns DVWP created using a linked data source (of 3 SP tables). The first 3 columns are from the first SP table, while the 4th and 5th column are from the remaining 2 SP tables.
In the DVWP tools > design options, i have ticked the Sort and Filters on Headers option, but the filter only appears on the first 3 columns. I want it so that all 5 columns will have its own filter.
I tried to add the filter manually to the remaining 2 columns using XSL. I've added the following xsl to the DVWP codes (which i believe is the code to enable the filter on the remaining 2 columns)
<th class="ms-vh" nowrap="nowrap">
<xsl:call-template name="dvt.headerfield" ddwrt:atomic="1" xmlns:ddwrt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebParts/v2/DataView/runtime">
<xsl:with-param name="fieldname">@Column4</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="fieldtitle">Column 4</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="displayname">Column 4</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="sortable">1</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="fieldtype">x:string</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</th>
<th class="ms-vh" nowrap="nowrap">
<xsl:call-template name="dvt.headerfield" ddwrt:atomic="1" xmlns:ddwrt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebParts/v2/DataView/runtime">
<xsl:with-param name="fieldname">@Column5</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="fieldtitle">Column 5</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="displayname">Column 5</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="sortable">1</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="fieldtype">x:string</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</th>
And with the above, the filter finally appears on the remaining 2 columns. However when i tried to open the filter, unlike the first 3 columns, the filter on 4th and 5th column doesn't show any list of values that i can pick to filter that column.
Can anyone help me figure out what was wrong here?
