Hi Everybody, my last post was close automaticly ([Select filter in app sort is an AND or an OR - #10](https://community.glideapps.com/t/select-filter-in-app-sort-is-an-and-or-an-or/34922/10))

But I have a new question about advanced filter

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/5/752ef06991d089a3d2ac2a42c4e27013aa1563eb.png)

I would like to know why I am doing multi-select.

I would like to sort out the different types of bars (beer bar, wine bar, etc)

I would like the user to be able to select wine & beer bars, and have the app return bars that serve wine but also beer.

Any idea how to do this?

For information I followed the tutorial which is in the link above

Thank you in advance

So can you confirm that you have a choice component that writes to a single cell and allows multi-select?

Hi @ThinhDinh

So, I did it, but it’s not really as I expected, as you say, NO, for this to work we must have in the creation view a “TRUE/FALSE” field for each type of category (each filter), I would have liked to have a field with each category that I check, uncheck on the fly, too bad!

I’m going to keep on looking on my side

This is tricky, I don’t have time to make an example now but when I do I will jump back in.
