How to set a filter on column ?

[Serial86]

Hi,

First your lib is very good. Thanks.

In the Excel example, I have no found example on the filter columns. Is it implemented ?

Thanks in advance,

Dear @Serial86

The feature is not supported.

What exactly is the filter function you mentioned?

Hi.
In Excel, when you have a column we can set a filter on this data column. For example if you have data with A D C C E A. You can filter on A D C E.

Thanks in advance.

There is a pull request in in the old QtXlsxWriter repo: dbzhang800/QtXlsxWriter#98 that I think would add the requested functionality.
It includes setting auto filter, splitting panes and freezing panes.
It works without problem when patched in to the current codebase of QXlsx.

But to qualify, it works without problem with my code, I don't know if it would cause issues with any functions I currently don't use. There should also probably be some additional error checking added if used, I noticed that when for example entering incorrect parameters for the freeze panes function instead of throwing or similar it just corrupts the generated file.

The linenumbers for the added code won't be correct but patching it manually by looking at the preceding and following code of the added codeblocks works.

Just a FYI /Cheers and thanks for the great library!
