 * Hi Tobias, love the plugin- I use it all over my Slo-Pitch Website for a variety
   of purposes.
 * For the League Schedules (link attached) I would like to make is searchable by
   team, but bc I combine/merge shells that function is not possible.
 * Is there a work around this to allow the search option to be functional while
   using the merge/ combined feature or another feature that would allow a team 
   to only view games involving their team?
 * Thank you.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcolumn-filter-dropdowns%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Indeed, the merged/combined cells in that table make it impossible to use the
   included search/filtering features (including normal text field search and dropdowns).
 * You could try developing a custom solution based on some JavaScript code. This
   is e.g. done on [https://www.poorpigs.de/baseball/spielplan/saison-2022/](https://www.poorpigs.de/baseball/spielplan/saison-2022/)
   as well. (Click the small “(nur Spiele der Poor Pigs anzeigen)” Link next to 
   the “Spielplan 2022” heading there.) This is based on this JavaScript code: [https://www.poorpigs.de/js/spielplan.js](https://www.poorpigs.de/js/spielplan.js)
 * Regards,
   Tobias

 * Thank you for the response, that coding appears to be what I am attempting to
   do. How would I implement that in conjunction with Tablepress? Thank you.

 * Hi,
 * this JavaScript code is not really specific to TablePress, so you could just 
   adjust it for your needs and then load it into the page in a `<script>` tag.
 * Regards,
   Tobias
