# Limitations

The time-series matrix transformation currently has the following limitations.

* Sorting and filtering cannot be applied for the child column of the matrix column.
* The option setting "Recalculate Formula on Record Update" is not currently available for the formula field child column of the matrix column.
* Currently only one type of object can be displayed inside one matrix column.
* For records to which time-series matrix transformation is applied, the time-series value must always be set to the first date value in that series. For example, when the display interval of the time-series matrix is set to "Monthly", records displayed in the "April 2024" series must have a date field value of "2024-04-01".
* If there is more than one record in the related list that matches a certain time series value, the first record found by the Mashmatrix Sheet is selected and used. Any priority or filter condition cannot be specified currently.
* If you clear the value displayed in the matrix column cell, a blank value is written to that field, not deleting related records automatically. Therefore, if a time-series matrix transformation is performed on a related list that includes required fields, errors for required field may occur when values ​​are cleared to blank and saved.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.mashmatrix.com/mashmatrix-sheet/functions_advanced/time_series_matrix_transformation/limitations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
