Thought this would be easy and have tried duplicating exactly what I have seen in how-to videos but to no avail. Just want to be able to filter this list of items on one column but having a difficult time doing so. Here is a recording if someone can help

1.) that choice component for your filter needs to write to a user specific text column (let’s call it sportChoice)  
2.) set visibility of each list where sport is screen \> sportChoice

Here is a post that might help:

really appreciate your help and love your videos by the way! my choice isn’t writing to the new column like yours does in the video. i guess the search bar will have to do the trick. thank you for reaching out though.
