 * Hallo,
 * Ich habe Tablepress downloaded, dann column filter widget installiert. Ich habe
   eine xls.Tabelle importiert, dann bearbeitet, dann ein new post erstellt, und
   shortcode mit extension kopiert. Sie sind nur 2 Spalten, Zeilen sind mehr als
   100; Filter habe Ich nur für die erste Spalte aktiviert – wo Daten sind. Auf 
   die Blog-Homepage die Tabelle sieht gut aus, aber die dropdown Funktion geht 
   nicht richtig…z.B. sind mehr als 100 Daten drinnen, und wenn Ich 01.01. auswähle,
   sind keine Einträge vorhandern…aber in die Tabelle schon.
 * Wie könnte Ich das Problem lösen?
 * Danke!
    LG

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
    AS these are English-language
   forums, I’ll reply in English. That way, more people can benefit from our discussion.
   I hope that’s ok.
 * Can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens,
   so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi Tobias,
 * ok. The trouble happens to the following table
 * [http://blog.spedimax.com/kalender/](http://blog.spedimax.com/kalender/)
 * if you try to filter per date e.g. 01.01. the table reports no data available,
   but that´s wrong. The same with 01.02. and other dates like 06.29. Most of dates
   work properly.
 * Thanks for your help!
 * Regards,
    Diana

 * Hi,
 * thanks for the link!
 * The problem here is line breaks after some of the dates in the first column. 
   For example, after `01.01.` you hit the “Enter” key once, after `02.01.` you 
   even hit it twice. Compare that to `02.08.` which doesn’t have any line breaks
   after it, an which works.
    So, to fix all this, you will just have to remove 
   all line breaks after the dates in the first column.

    Tobias
