When a filter rule becomes invalid, the view of data on your page reverts to how it was before the filter rule was applied. You can identify invalid filter rules and fix them to make sure your users see the data they need for their planning.
A filter rule on a worksheet or card becomes invalid when:
- A list, list item, or line item can't be found. This is usually because it's been deleted or selective access has been changed.
- A line item is list- or version-formatted and the list or version it references has been deleted.
- The dimensionality of a line item has been changed through the Applies to column in Blueprint.
- The data format of a line item has been changed. For example, from number-formatted to text-formatted.
- A line item pivot position has changed.
Invalid filter rule warning
