To reproduce: use the following code snippet and enter in the filter row one of the row values as it is shown in the screenshot: this.radGridView1.EnableFiltering = true; GridViewDateTimeColumn dateTimeColumn = new GridViewDateTimeColumn("DateTimeColumn"); dateTimeColumn.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom; dateTimeColumn.CustomFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss"; radGridView1.MasterTemplate.Columns.Add(dateTimeColumn); this.radGridView1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill; for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { this.radGridView1.Rows.Add(DateTime.Now.AddDays(i)); } Workaround: custom filtering: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/gridview/filtering/custom-filtering
