I have a fairly large dataset (25K records) with a fairly straightforward dataset:
We use these generally to priortize how we make sales calls. We want to call on manufaturers and designer.
Account Industry other data
aa Corp Audio/Video;Electronics
BB Corp Contract Manufacturer
CC Corp Distirbutor - Audio Video
DD Corp Electric Supply
EE Corp Robotics;Battery;UAV
FF Corp Oil & Gas - Wireline;MRO
All in all there are 125 categories. I am trying to filter by industry, but Robotics;Battery is a different selection from Robotics;MRO and Robotics;Game\Consumer. I tried to use the example contained here:
but I could not make it work on my dataset.
Ideally I would like to import a list of data set values and have it filter for "contains exactly" (so it can discriminate between "Audio/Video" and "Distributor Audio/Video" ) I would also like to figure out how to exclude values like "MRO"
Can someone point me in the right direction ?
Thanks
Sincerely,
Byron Holloway
