Filtering multiple values for one attribute

Filtering multiple values for one attribute

I have a large datatables set where several rows have multiple values for one attribute that are separated by commas. For instance, I have one column of data that contains sizes of panels. In this column, there are a few rows that have multiple panel sizes.

Example row values:
Row A Panel Size: 13x13
Row B Panel Size: 13x13, 20x20, 24x24
Row C Panel Size: 20x20
Row D Panel Size: 20x20
Row E Panel Size: 20x20, 24x24

Current pull down filter options for example rows A, B, C, D and E:
13x13
13x13, 20x20, 24x24
20x20
20x20, 24x24

I was wondering if there was any way that I can make it so that the datatables would recognize that there are multiple values being set for one row in one column so that it doesn’t just group multiple values as one unique value?

In this case, the desired pull down menu options for rows A, B, C D, and E would be:
13x13
20x20
24x24

    Still curious about this. Anyone have any ideas if this is possible?

    Bumping this.

    Is there any way to delineate multiple values for one column within one row? Is there any functionality to tokenize these values so that the column filter widget doesn't pick up "13x13, 20x20, 24x24" as one unique value and interprets it as three values different filterable values?

    Thanks in advance.

    Bumping this again. Any insight to whether or not this is possible would be appreciated.
