Hi All – The data growth in my app is a lot heavier than I expected, so I have to convert a good number of tables from Glide Tables to Glide Big Tables (GBTs). I’ve created a sandbox instance to test this, and the Glide dev team has been helpful in using a backend tool to do the conversion. The only issue I see thus far is that I can’t filter a component against a Glide Big Table computed column. For example, on this calendar view, I want to make sure that it doesn’t show any jobs (SRs) that are cancelled. I have a lookup column in the calendar entries to pull the SR status. If it is “Cancelled”, it filtered out. Now, that column doesn’t exist as a possible filter. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/d/dddd24f73212a926be0e3567409f6b7a4ba87855.png) _(note: that “relation table not found” goes away once I take the attempted filter off)_ I know that this is a known limitation of using components against GBTs. But does anyone have a good workaround for being able to filter off of even just a Lookup value? Thank you! ---

I am not sure if this is the same kinda thing, but it might help: > [@Workaround for filtering by some computed columns in glide big tables](https://community.glideapps.com/t/workaround-for-filtering-by-some-computed-columns-in-glide-big-tables/79701): > > Hello! I have been employing a technique to work around some of the filtering limitations of glide big tables which I have not seen mentioned around here. For example, I have a table of bookings which are related to different schools, so each booking is for a particular school. Now if I want to filter those bookings by school type which is a non-computed column in the schools table I can’t do it through a lookup column at the moment with big tables. What I have been doing is creating two quer… ---

It works! So strange 😆 ---
