Standard Filter Not Giving Results

Hello! I seem to be having a problem applying a standard filter to a column that has dates inside of it. When I’m setting the conditions inside the standard filter, it only gives me results when I use certain conditions. For example, If I try to use the, “>, <, <=, =>,” or any other such conditions, the spreadsheet doesn’t show any data after the filter is applied. But if I use the condition “=,” the spreadsheet shows results. What I’m trying to do is get the column to only display data “<=” 11/3/2020. I assume my issue is caused by user error so any education you can offer would be appreciated.

Attached is a sample file of the column I’m working with.

If you click View > Value highlighting you will see that your “dates” are coloured black, that is, they are text, not dates (blue).

See this page on how to convert your text to dates, Frequently asked questions - Calc - The Document Foundation Wiki
