    I encountered a problem when using the "Excel like filter" in combination with columns that use the values property for translating the raw column value to a given value from values. The Excel like filter only showed the raw value and not the translated value from the values properties. I searched everywhere for a solution but I couldn't find any, ending up making it myself.

    Demo: https://dojo.telerik.com/AxEYE

    Following code isn't mine, I found it on a different thread, couldn't find the thread to give credits. It is needed to remove the duplicated values from the Excel like filter.

    01.function removeDuplicates(items, field) {
    02.    var getter = function(item){return item[field]},
    03.        result = [],
    04.        index = 0,
    05.        seen = {};
    06. 
    07.    while (index < items.length) {
    08.      var item = items[index++],
    09.          text = getter(item);
    10. 
    11.      if(text !== undefined && text !== null && !seen.hasOwnProperty(text)){
    12.        result.push(item);
    13.        seen[text] = true;
    14.      }
    15.    }
    16. 
    17.    return result;
    18.}

     

    Following code is my solution.

    001.function checkboxFilter(column, data, checkboxes)
    002.{
    003.    var checkboxValues = {
    004.        value: '',
    005.        label: '',
    006.        checked: false
    007.    };
    008.     
    009.    if(data.hasOwnProperty(column.field)) {
    010.        var value = data[column.field];
    011.         
    012.        for(var x = 0; x < column.values.length; x++) {
    013.     
    014.            if(column.values[x].value === value) {               
    015.                checkboxValues.value = column.values[x].value;
    016.                checkboxValues.label = column.values[x].text;      
    017.                 
    018.                for(var z = 1; z < checkboxes.length; z++) {
    019.                    if(checkboxValues.value === checkboxes[z].value) {
    020.                        checkboxValues.checked = true;
    021.                        break;
    022.                    }
    023.                }
    024.                 
    025.                break;
    026.            }
    027.        }       
    028.    }
    029. 
    030.    return checkboxValues;
    031.}

    033.var filterSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
