Hello Raj,

Would you please elaborate a bit more on what exactly do you want to do with the Kendo UI Grid filters. Basically the filters are part of an object that holds the logic and an array of filters, you can add more items to this array to create complex filters. Please check the following example:

If this is not what you are asking for, please elaborate a bit more, so we can understand your question correctly.

Hi Kiril Nikolov ,

Thanks for your quick reply. I entered "Bern"in the ship city column  filter's first textbox and clicked on "filter" button . 8 records are selected from the grid. if i click on filter button (below the grid). i am expecting that the filters should be applied on those 8 records.  how can we merge _fltMain filters with the existing "ship city
 filter.

Thanks,
Raj Yennam

Hello Raj,

The Grid dataSource has a filter method. You can use it to:

1. Retrieve the current filter state as an object
2. Add new filter expressions to the object
3. Apply new mixed filtering by executing the filter method and pass the new object as a parameter

In this way you will achieve "mixed" filtering, which can be very flexible and powerful.
