Is it possible to print a filtered report

I have a table View with some filters, and of course the user can use the column headers to further sort the report as required. Is there any way to print the resulting table?

Could you update if you are using the default filter option given by AppSheet? The results of those filters may not be possible to be used in a report.

One approach could be to use your own filtering mechanism. This means using some enums etc. to filter a table by using those filters in a slice expression. Thereafter you can use that slice in report to print the filtered records.

The sample app below shows how one can filter a table based on user inputs. The slice then can be used in report.

Thanks for the sample and the reply. My user has the option of using custom filters and then applying the default filter over the top. I was wondering if there was a way to pick up the filter combination and apply it to a report that could be sent to the printer. Or if there was an easy way to simply print the “as viewed” report. Your comment confirms my suspicion that that it’s not possible. Thanks for your help

Thanks for the update. I believe the sample app approach allows the user to filter the table and the resulting view could be shown through the slice.

Then that slice could be used in the report as well.
