Default Filtering Data with a Drop Down field

I have a table that kind of looks like this:

Auto Dinner IE Welcome Ball
Corp Annual Rpt
Name Company Title
P.M. Ford President X
X
J.M. Microsoft CEO X X
X
K.M. Microsoft CFO X
X

The first three letter of the "event" signal the industry we are targeting,
so Auto will be for Automotive, Corp for Corporate, IE for Industrial
Equipment, etc. I need to set up a drop down field that will filter by
Industry, for example if I only want to only see the "events" for Automotive
my table will reduce to this:

Auto Dinner Corp Annual
Rpt
Name Company Title
P.M. Ford President X X
J.M. Microsoft CEO X X

K.M. Microsoft CFO X


The ones marked Corp should always display but the one starting with IE will
dissapear. Something similar will happen if I select IE then Auto Dinner
will hide, etc.

Is there a way to do this?
