The main table filter only knows about the data in the whole table.  
The column filter only knows about the data in the column.

If you are passing a parameter or value to a column view and it is performing a lookup or transforming the value somehow, the filter will not be able to see the altered value.

No, the table does not know what is inside the cell views.

It's not an issue. It's by design.

Show an example of the data being returned in the column and how you are transforming it in the view. Please see [Wiki - how to post code on this forum](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/wiki-how-to-post-code-on-this-forum/77831).
