Multiple data entries in one cell for filtering purposes
I'm trying to create a cell that has multiple data entries, however when
filtering, it comes up individually. For example: Movie Title Movie Genre Matrix Sci-Fi, Action Avatar Sci-Fi, Action Die Hard Action Then, when filtering the table results (pulling down the menu under "Movie Genre"), I'd like each individual genre to show up: Sci-Fi Action So, if I chose "Action" the results would be: Matrix Avatar Die Hard But if I chose "Sci-Fi", the results would be: Matrix Avatar Is there a way to do that without making an individual column for everything? Thanks! |

It wouldn't be as convenient as you describe, but would the "Custom" option
of the auto filter with the typed genre work? (For example, select custom then select "contains" and "sci-fi") "hls0401" wrote: I'm trying to create a cell that has multiple data entries, however when filtering, it comes up individually.
