Fixes #5405

When a cell value is an array (e.g. multi-select columns), getUniqueValues wraps it producing a nested array. Map lookup then compares arrays by reference, so equal arrays count as distinct facets and the facet list never shows the right frequency.

Normalize array values to a stable JSON string key before counting.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed faceted filtering so identical array-valued entries are counted as a single unique value.
    • Preserved existing handling for scalar facet values.

When a cell value is an array (e.g. multi-select columns), getUniqueValues
wraps it, producing a nested array. Map lookup then compares arrays by
reference, so equal arrays count as distinct facets and the facet list
never shows the right frequency.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The faceting logic now serializes array-valued facet keys before map lookup and insertion. Scalar facet values retain their existing behavior, and occurrence counts remain supported.

Changes

Faceted unique value normalization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Normalize array facet keys
packages/table-core/src/features/column-faceting/createFacetedUniqueValues.ts
Array values use JSON.stringify keys so equal arrays map to the same entry. Scalar values remain unchanged.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d1970

Array facet values are normalized into JSON-string keys, which can expose the wrong values, merge distinct facets, or fail facet computation for unsupported array contents. These bounded correctness issues require follow-up before the change is merge-ready.

Separate canonical aggregation keys from public facet values. The returned Map exposes JSON text for array facets, so consumers cannot use the original array as a key. Scalar values share the same key space: ['a'] and '["a"]' merge into one facet. CellData is unknown, so an array containing BigInt throws and aborts facet computation. Use tagged internal keys, preserve the public facet value, and add regression tests for collisions, key iteration, lookup, and unsupported values.
