Here is my problem.
I have a spreadsheet with a column that allows multiple categories to be selected from a drop down list, for each cell. Each category within that cell is separated by commas, and I've not set a limit to the amount of categories selected at this time. In row #1 I have set the data filter to appear, allowing for a rough form of searching. What I can't seem to figure out is, how can I get the data filter to recognize that I want each category that is separated by a comma to appear as it's own selectable field when using the data filter function? Is it even doable? Any assistance in this would be very much appreciated.
