The table I created uses MYSQL code to retrieve text from the database. It retrieves values from multiple tables. These rows are referring to posts. Extra values are added from different tables with the post id as key. However, one table is called wp_levels which hold multiple values which are assigned to one post. I use GROUP_CONCAT to show all levels on one row. When I do this it also does it with the filter values. I want to show the values separate in the filter.
How do I do this?
HOW IT IS NOW
#####TABLE
title | description | levels | date
hello | world | A1, A2 | 01-01-2019
bye | world | B1, B2 | 01-01-2019
#### FILTER CHECKBOX
A1
A1, A2
A2
B1
B1, B2
B2
HOW IT SHOULD BE

#### MYSQL CODE AS IT IS NOW (NON RELEVANT CODE REMOVED)
SELECT DISTINCT CONCAT('<a href="', wp_posts.`guid`, '">', wp_posts.`post_title`, '</a>') AS `Title`, wp_posts.`post_excerpt` `Description`, IFNULL(NULLIF(GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT wp_levels.`name` ORDER BY wp_levels.`name` ASC SEPARATOR ', '), ''), "Unspecified") `Levels`, wp_posts.`post_date_gmt` `Date` FROM wp_term_relationships INNER JOIN wp_posts ON wp_posts.`ID` = wp_term_relationships.`object_id` INNER JOIN wp_levels ON wp_levels.`post_id` = wp_posts.`ID` INNER JOIN wp_terms ON wp_terms.`term_id` = wp_term_relationships.`term_taxonomy_id`
WHERE wp_term_relationships.`object_id` IN (SELECT DISTINCT wp_term_relationships.`object_id` FROM wp_term_relationships WHERE wp_term_relationships.`term_taxonomy_id`='19') GROUP BY wp_term_relationships.`object_id`
Can you access that column's settings, and go to Data. There, you should be able to change "Possible values for column" to "Define values list", where you could add these as individual values, so instead of "A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2" you can have "A1", "A2", "B1", "B2", "C1", "C2"...

Hello Richard.
Thank you for your purchase.
Can you access that column's settings, and go to Data. There, you should be able to change "Possible values for column" to "Define values list", where you could add these as individual values, so instead of "A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2" you can have "A1", "A2", "B1", "B2", "C1", "C2"...
Please let me know if this works.
Best regards.
Kind Regards,

Hello Aleksandar,
This was exactly the function I was searching for. I probably missed it because it was under Data instead of Filter. Thank you so much!
Sincerely
