Filtering matrix columns with dropdown

Hello, this is not as simple as it sounds. Lets say I have data :

TypeValue
a5
a20
b15
b10
c15
c30

And I want a matrix like this :

Type 1Type 2
valuevalue
valuevalue

Where the types columns are linked to a dropdown where you can select a, b or c.

Is this possible?

Hi @314mp_M0th4 ,

 

If you want to create a matrix visual that do not aggregate your data, you need to add an column for row field:

Output:

Thanks! I also found that I am a dummy and by using basic filtering on page from the filtering pane you get the same result as using a dropdown.
