Filter by Category

Question

Does anyone have a tutorial to simply filter the dataset by Category? It seems so simple but all the tutorials I've followed have multiple dropdowns or search functions I seem to get confused. I just want one dropdown which filters by category reference field in the dataset. Thank you.

@Matanya Hi Matanya, sorry for the late reply. Been very busy. The reference field is greyed out as it's a category and I cannot set the term for 'Contains'. Maybe I can pick your brain over a PM?

This sounds a bit complicated ... can you share what the main database and reference database looks like?  From what I think, you should query the reference database whenever the user selects a category from the drop down
