    Red face Excel filter Multiple Value With Drop Down

    Hi everyone, my first post here. I am looking for help on filtering multiple values in one cell delimited by a comma. For example I have a spreadsheet with the following data:
    Untitled.png

    When I filter on the 'Characteristics 1' I see checkboxes for the following:
    Untitled1.png

    But I hope it has dropdown
    Untitled2.png

    So I can filter out based on each element

    Please note that the above is just an example and I have multiple individual requirements, so it would not be as simple as having one column per requirement.

    Re: Excel filter Multiple Value With Drop Down

    Hello michaelchen and Welcome to Excel Forum.
    I thought that as this has been sitting for a few days with no reply that I would offer a formula based proposal.
    1. Produce lists of characteristics in columns B:C
    2. Next to each list is a selection column in which the user could type "x" if that characteristic is chosen
    3. Produce two result columns (which may be moved and/or hidden for aesthetic purposes) populated using: =IFERROR(INDEX(K$2:K$6,AGGREGATE(15,6,(ROW(K$2:K$6)-ROW(K$1))/(L$2:L$6="x"),ROWS(S$2:S2))),"")
    4. Add a column to the original range to be populated using:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    5. Filter the range based on this new column by deselecting zero.
    Let us know if you have any questions.

    Re: Excel filter Multiple Value With Drop Down

    Thank you so much for your solution. Because users who use this spreadsheet don't have a deep understanding of excel. Do you know how to create a cutomize multiselect filter ?

    Thank you for the help! In your spreadsheet, we are able to select one element from the drop-down. How can turn it muitiselect filter for this?

    I hope I can create something like an auto filter with a checkbox in front of each selection. So I can choose what I want all together
