Cannot Apply Filter in Dashboard to Google Sheet Data Source

[volume8208]

Bug description

When using a Google Sheets data source in Superset, filters applied through the Dashboard's Filter UI are not working. System throw error "Error: Invalid query: NO_COLUMN: null". However, manually applying SQL WHERE filters in SQL Lab works as expected. This issue prevents the use of filters through the Dashboard's UI, significantly limiting the functionality for non-technical users who rely on the Filter UI.

How to reproduce the bug

• Connect a Google Sheets data source to Superset.
• Create a dashboard using this data source.
• Add a filter to the dashboard through the Filter UI.
• Observe that the filter does not apply correctly to the Google Sheets data.
• Go to SQL Lab and manually apply a SQL WHERE clause to the same data source.
• Observe that the filter works when applied through SQL Lab.

Hey @volume8208! I'm here to help you with the issue you're facing in Superset. I'm a bot designed to assist with bug resolutions, answer questions, and guide you on becoming a contributor. Let's dive into resolving the problem together!

The issue with filters applied through the Dashboard's Filter UI not working for a Google Sheets data source, while manually applying SQL WHERE filters in SQL Lab works as expected, is likely due to compatibility checks and scope management in the Dashboard's Filter UI.

1. Compatibility Checks: The filters are checked for compatibility with the datasource. If the filters are incompatible, they are marked as IndicatorStatus.Incompatible and are not applied. This could be why the filters are not working when applied through the Dashboard's Filter UI ^[1].

2. Scope Management: The function useSelectFiltersInScope ensures that only filters within the active scope of the dashboard are applied. If the filters are out of scope, they will not be applied ^[2].

3. Error Handling: The error "NO_COLUMN: null" is generated when a column does not exist in the datasource. This is handled using the SupersetError class with the COLUMN_DOES_NOT_EXIST_ERROR type ^[3][4].

To address this issue, ensure that the filters are compatible with the Google Sheets data source and within the active scope of the dashboard. Additionally, verify that the columns referenced in the filters exist in the Google Sheets data source.

It's working fine for mysql and other data sources.

Hey @sundar68

From what I see the filter in question is a date filter I faced the same issue for date-like filters, and I just ended up creating a computed property like so :

= DATETIME() Don't forget to modify the charts with your computed property
