How do I see that a filter is active, and how do I remove it?

Filter (1) at the top of the table shows that a filter is active. Click Clear all filters to remove them. You can only filter on visible columns.

When a filter is active, the Filter button at the top of the table shows how many filters are on, for example Filter (1). Next to it you can see how many lines are shown out of the total, for example 12 of 22 lines. You remove all filters with Clear all filters.

Why can I only filter on columns that are shown?

You can only filter on columns that are visible in the table. Previously a filter could sit on a hidden column, and it looked as if rows were missing with no way to see why. If you want to filter on a column you don't need to see, you can show it and move it all the way to the right.

Good to know

The summary line at the bottom shows how many lines are shown, for example Sum · 12 lines. If the number is lower than you expect, a filter is probably on.
