Bug Description

The filter data function is not working. It filters out all data instead of just the cases specified.

Expected Behaviour

I was trying to filter out cases based on gender (1 = male, 2 = female) so I used the filter function GENDER = 1 and clicked "apply pass-through filter". It then said "Filtered out all data." However, when I then tried to run a t-test it included all data.

Steps to Reproduce

Yes I can reproduce the bug it happens every time I try to filter data.

Log (if any)

I can partly confirm this:

Important notes:

• the filter works fine for me despite the message "filtered out all data".
• the message only appears if the variable is set to nominal and if I filter via "value". If I filter via "label" all is fine.
• If I filter a "scale" variable via "value all is fine
• Filtering a "scale" variable via label is not possible => no string input allowed
• I I want to filter an ordinal variable it gets auto-transformed to scale the moment I click on "="

If this behaves different for you / if your problem persists, as a workaround, you can filter categorial variables just by clicking the checkmark instead of using the filter window:

@JorisGoosen
I think this uncovers a second bug:

• If I filter with the filter window this should sync the gui and uncheck the checkmark
• the first bug is that a message says "filtered out all data" despite the filter just working fine

file to show the bug - note that on re-opening the filter symbol is not visible next to the variable name, but when you click the filter symbol on the very left, it shows and is active (a third bug?).

So I believe it should look like this:

If I use the label to filter it looks better:
