I’ve got all my tutors’ subjects listed in a basic table. They all come from checkboxes that have their own column. Does anyone have any ideas on a good way to set filters that include all the subjects they’re proficient in? Maybe a choice component with the subject categories? Robert did something like that with vegetables. Would that work? Is there an easier way? Thanks.

I don’t think you can filter the contents of a basic table. The columns you add are the columns that will show. I would probably do something with separate components for each column and set visibility on each component if the value is true.
