Is it possible to make a data filter wider (instead of taller) as more filtering columns are added?Hi again. Here is a second data filter configuration question... I'd like to use a relatively large number of categorical columns as data filters. Some of these have many levels. Currently, each time I add a column to a data filter it is appended below the last filter. This results in an impractically tall chain of filters that scroll well off the page (and don't compact well with scroll bars).
Instead, I'd like to create a wider display, with multiple columns, arranged in 3 columns, in a data filter. See image below and attached. This image is just a mockup where I placed 3 local data filters next to each other for illustration. I'd prefer to use only a SINGLE data filter (not local data filter), having the option of adding new filter columns into new display columns. This way, I don't have to establish relationships between multiple local data filters or between a local data filter and the data table. Again, thanks in advance for any recommendations. Casey

Yes you sure can, maybe take a look at this post:Can I arrange data filters in two columns?
Re: Is it possible to make a data filter wider (instead of taller) as more filtering columns are added?Hi @ih . Perhaps I'm not understanding your original post, but I think I'm looking for something slightly different. I don't want to have separate boxes that each have a different local filter. I want to have a single data filter where the filtering columns are arranged in columns. In this case, the columns aren't treated as separate elements. Does this make sense?
