Common Delimited Values Into Slice

Hello Everyone,

 

I have the following Table with common delimited values:

 

Drawer Name
Invited CountryActual Country
Malcom KeysAngola, Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Cameroon, Colombia, Comoros, Djibouti, Ecuador, Egypt, Georgia, Ghana, Guatemala, Iraq, Jordan, Kenya, Kosovo, Lebanon, Morocco, Mozambique, Nepal, Oman, Peru, Philippines, Panama, Sri Lanka, Turkiye, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, Yemen, Zambia, Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Kuwait, Netherlands, New Zealand, Oman, Poland, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Spain, UAE, UK

Ghana, Guatemala, Indonesia, Iraq, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Kosovo, Morocco, Mozambique, Nepal, Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Zambia

Grady MichaelsAustralia, Austria, Bahrain, Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Kuwait, Netherlands, New Zealand, Oman, Poland, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Spain, UAE, UK

Djibouti, Ecuador, Egypt, Georgia, Ghana, Guatemala, Iraq, Jordan, Kenya, Kosovo, Lebanon, Morocco, Mozambique, Nepal, Oman, Peru, Philippines, Panama, Sri Lanka, Turkiye

Florence MaddyIndia, Madagascar, South Africa, Dubai, Wales

Wales, Dubai

George MillsIceland, Norway, Finland, Scotland, Germany

Nory, Finland, Germany

 

I would like to make two slices (Invited country and Actual Country) to filter out the result:

 

As of now the slice when setup looks like the following:

 

Invited country slice dropdown:

Angola, Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Cameroon, Colombia, Comoros, Djibouti, Ecuador, Egypt, Georgia, Ghana, Guatemala, Iraq, Jordan, Kenya, Kosovo, Lebanon, Morocco, Mozambique, Nepal, Oman, Peru, Philippines, Panama, Sri Lanka, Turkiye, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, Yemen, Zambia, Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Kuwait, Netherlands, New Zealand, Oman, Poland, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Spain, UAE, UK
Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Kuwait, Netherlands, New Zealand, Oman, Poland, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Spain, UAE, UK
India, Madagascar, South Africa, Dubai, Wales
Iceland, Norway, Finland, Scotland, Germany

 

Actual Country slice dropdown:

Armenia, Brazil, Cameroon, Canada, Djibouti, Ecuador, Egypt,

Ghana, Guatemala, Indonesia, Iraq, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Kosovo, Morocco, Mozambique, Nepal, Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Zambia

Djibouti, Ecuador, Egypt, Georgia, Ghana, Guatemala, Iraq, Jordan, Kenya, Kosovo, Lebanon, Morocco, Mozambique, Nepal, Oman, Peru, Philippines, Panama, Sri Lanka, Turkiye

Wales, Dubai

Nory, Finland, Germany

 

I would like to get the slices to look like:

 

Invited Country and Actual Country

Angola
Armenia
Austria
Australia
Bahrain
Chad
Cameroon
Canada
Each country on its own ...

 

So when I select a country from the dropdown it will look for the match and display the rows with all the information (Drawer Name, Invited Country and Actual Country.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Pklu 
If the requirement is to select from a list, the data structure should also be in a list format rather than concatenated, as shown in the image you provided.
In such a case, you can download a text box slicer from the marketplace and use it.

Thank you so much. That helped but I actually need the items in the table format so I can create another slicer to select the country they want to view other information partaining to that specific country.

 

Really appreciate your reply and sorry for the long delay to reply.

Hi @Pklu , I in doubt that it is possible...
The table can be as in your images, but the slicer should be a list as I showed...
