 * Hi Tobias
 * Fantastic plugin!
    I’m just wondering if you’d be able to develop such a functionality
   as “filter” in Excell 2010, where different columns can be filtered respectively?
 * Vielen Dank 🙂

 * Hi Matt,
 * to be honest, I don’t know 🙁
    I’ve seen this before, and my assumption is that
   it is related to the styling and structure of the dropdowns, and how they are
   added to the page by that JavaScript. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to change
   that 🙁 Sorry.

    Tobias

 * OK no problem. 🙂
    I think I have understood where come from the problem. When
   all the boxes are selectables (white color), the boxes are correctly organized:

 * When one of the boxes is not selectable (grey color), the following boxes can’t
   go below it :

 * May be these informations will help you for your futures works. I hope.
    Thanks
   a lot Tobias to have used your time for my problem!

 * Hi Matt,
 * you are right. Looks like it. Can you maybe post a link to the page with this
   table? Maybe I can spot something in the code that could be causing this.

 * Is there a way to exclude some of the columns from this multifilter extension?
   I have a table with 6 columns but only need 2 to be filterable with drop downs.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question.
 * For the DataTables ColumnFilterWidgets Extention, you can exclude columns by 
   adding another parameter to the Shortcode, that is described at [http://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-columnfilterwidgets/](http://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-columnfilterwidgets/)
   
   For the Multi Filter Select Extension (from [https://tablepress.org/extensions/multi-filter-select/](https://tablepress.org/extensions/multi-filter-select/)),
   I’m not aware of such a possibility.
