Hi All

I have a grid that is getting generated by means of a HTML table. I would like to know or understand how I can filter the grid data especially the Date Fields and numeric fields. I checked most of the examples, they are all based on oData data source. I did not come across any examples where date/numeric filtering is done in the grid which gets generated by means of  HTML table.

Thank You in advance for your inputs.

Hello Vijhay,

The Grid widget uses DataSource regardless of the way it is instantiated. Even if the Grid is initialized from HTML table a DataSource component will be created from the data. When filtering or sorting the data the DataSource will perform the operations. 

In order to ensure that the records will be sorted or filtered as expected it is recommend to set the type of the data that will be displayed in the columns. This can be achieved using the data- attributes. For more details on initializing the Grid please check out the article below.
