Allow users to search in the grid for NULL/ NOT NULL values
The grid has a number of built in filters, what is not supported is searching for cells that have no value or some value (i.e. NULL or NOT NULL).
This would be a very useful addition.

This doesn't work on boolean columns. We have data that supports true/false/null, and we can only get true and false to work. If we try and include a null filter option, the grid filter just assume false and null are the same. See support ticket, https://www.telerik.com/account/support-tickets/view-ticket?threadid=1133790, for details. I'd expect this feature to work for all column types.

The feature is already available in our Q1 Beta, and will go official next week with Q1 RTM. We'll also introduce IsEmpty/IsNotEmpty filtering options.

I was surprised to find out that this feature was not standard. This should be a high priority add to the next release.

We'll do everything possible to include it, but we cannot make a definite commitment at this point, Jasen.

Is this definitely being included by the end of the year? This functionality is a deal-breaker for us, and if it isn't going to be available, then we need to find a different solution.

This feature will be taken into consideration after the Q3 release, and we'll do everything possible to deliver it by the end of the year.

The KendoUI Q3 Roadmap was just announced and the #1 most-voted-on suggestion is still marked as 'Under Review' (since May of last year).  It's beyond frustrating -- can you give us anything more specific than "It will be pondered in the second half of 2015"?

This should be the very basic and mandatory feature to be available in Kendo. It will be great if we get this soon..

I have just found that I need this feature for client side filtering. Non-blank. Let get this thing rolling.

We need it.  Otherwise we have to create custom views just for blanks or nulls.
Joe

Any traction on this?!  I get nagged on a consistent basis that this functionality isn't present in our site.  Love the grid component, but this is a big hole in functionality.

I was surprised to see this feature not there! Re-creating Dynamics CRM like grids and need this feature.

Add me to the list of people requesting this feature - just got a request from our product owner that users want this functionality in our applications.

Back in April 2013 I got this response from the Kendo team.

"Unfortunately this [Filtering blanks/nulls] isn't something trivial and is not an often required feature. In fact, across all of my years here at Telerik I have yet to hear about a request to filter by blank entries across any one of our UI component suites."

At the time I was astounded. However, over the last 12 months it's somewhat reassuring to see so many people are now asking for this as my clients have been complaining about this missing functionality for ages.

Hi Guys, This is something that we also require, it would be very useful for us.

Have just run into a problem specifically because the grid doesn't support this. Really really want to see it in the near future!

Please add this filtering functionality - it's an absolute necessity.
Allen

standard filtering is limited with out being able to filter on null/not null and empty/not empty.

Trying to migrate from RadGrid to Kendo and this is a MAJOR omission - it really is a very common ( and necessary) feature and should definitely be added as a standard feature to the Kendo grid.

I don't think there's a suitable workaround other than your own custom implementation, Radha. I will try to raise the priority of this feature for future Kendo UI releases.

Kenshin, Is there a workaround or alternative way to achieve this.?

Being able to filter on null values is fundamental for many use cases. Its very disappointing to find the grid does not allow this

How many versions have kendoUI already launched? I can't believe this functionality is still not available !!. This is something really needed.

This feature is on our radar, Nitin, and will eventually be discussed and planned some time after Q2 2014.

I would love to see this feature make it into a release.  Requests to filter for entities with empty attributes comes up often

This functionality should be essential feature of Kendo grid. We really need this feature.

I think, this functionality is required in most cases So it should be filtered either null or not null

This feature is "must have", especially search for NULLs. While search for NOT NULL can be workarounded sometimes, e.g. Dates, numbers.

I think this functionality is required for most of the scenarios. Anyhow, I've acheived Blank filtering by making some changes in server side dyanmic query and client side functions.

Imported User

This is a critical need for our implementation.  The users need the ability to find specific fields which need to be populated and the inability to search on blanks with the toolkit is causing us to have to consider alternative solutions.
Jason

What is needed is a way to easily search all columns all data on the client or on the server. A demo or a built in addition would be great.

This is an essential feature for us. Can you please add this capability as soon as possible.
