Hi, I would like to create multiple in-app filters. I see you can create multiple sort by options. Am I missing something or is this not possible? Ex: I would like users to have to option to search by neighborhood if alcohol is served if gift cards are sold…etc. I have these as Yes or No in the datasheet. Thank you! ---

Something like the last tab in this template? > **[Glide • Courses Discovery by Amit Sarda](https://www.glideapps.com/templates/du8Tqw1HZhobQToni8cq-template)** > > Let learners discover courses, trainers, classes, schedules. ---

Oh yes please! How do I do that? ---

Create a field in your spreadsheet where you accept the filter value as input. Pull this value as a single-value variable in the list of items you want to filter. Filter the list of items based on this single-value variable. For multiple search criteria, repeat the process, build a IF THEN column to test for all the conditions, then filter the list for the value in this IF THEN column. ---

I haven’t created one yet. But maybe others have. ---

How do you get the items to populate at the bottom? I added the choice component, but nothing happens when I click on the yes portion. ---

You have to add an inline list that is filtered based on the filters you’ve selected. ---

I made one for choice component of 5 choices as a dropdown (Restaurant, Bar, Deli, Wine Shop, Specialty) The In line list isn’t populating. Does it not work in the drop down orientation? ---

Ah I figured out what I was doing wrong. Thank you! One more question. Is there a way to have a submit button towards to bottom after selecting certain choice components, and have the inline lists populate on another page? ---

It would take away a lot of interactivity. In my courses app, people can see live what courses fit a particular criteria. I would imagine users getting very frustrated if they have to move back and forth between configuring filters and viewing the results. But I guess it depends on your usecase (mine was exploring what courses fit the bill). You can use a button to link to a screen, which in turn shows the filtered inline list. Or, directly link to the list and use filters to show the relevant results. ---

I know what you mean. The issue was that there were about 8 choice components, so a user would have to scroll down each time to see the list. I just removed some thinking they probably won’t be used as much as the ones I kept. Do you know if I can remove the No choice…so it’s just a dash and yes? ---

Yes. You can do that. ---

Can I do it without altering the original data sheet? ---

You just have to change the options for the Choice. ---

That’s in the choice component settings? ---

You can filter out certain options in the choice component, or just point the source to a separate sheet that only lists the options you want to display. ---
