In analysis workflows, I often need to compare how individual multi-select values are distributed across records.
Right now, the only way to do this is to use filters to show one value within the field at a time, then create separate views per value.
This makes comparison slower and prevents seeing all value distributions in a single view. In analysis workflows where the data is modeled one way but needs to be examined from another angle, this limitation becomes especially noticeable.
This new feature would allow:
• Faster comparison across values
• More flexible analysis without restructuring the data model
• Continued use of multi-select fields for data entry, while still supporting more granular analysis
How it would work: When grouping by a multi-select field, add an option to group by individual values rather than the full combination of selected options. This could be implemented as a simple toggle or checkbox when grouping multi-select fields, such as “Separate values for grouping”
For example, given a multi-select field:
- Record 1: X, Y, Z
- Record 2: X, Y, A, B
The current grouping is limited to:
- Group 1: X, Y, Z
- Group 2: X, Y, A, B
Using my proposed toggle would yield:
- Group 1: X
- Group 2: Y
- Group 3: A
- Group 4: B
Each record could appear in multiple groups based on its selected values.
Having this ability would help me immensely!
