How do I create a checkbox variable
This seems simple, but I haven't found any documentation on how to build and use a checkbox variable.
Right now I am using the radio dial variable where I can always select one variable at a time.
For example I can check 'Ramped Headcount' and get the number of ramped headcount, then I can switch to 'Partially Ramped Headcount' and get the number of partially ramped headcount.
I would like to build a checkbox variable where I would be able to check 'Ramped Headcount' as well as 'Partially Ramped Headcount' to get to total of both.
This seems easy and I may be missing something, but unfortunately the ramped and unramped headcount variables come from different columns in the dataset, so I can't just use a simple filter.

Currently Variables only support storing a single value so checkboxes are not an option for variables. I'd recommend adding this to the idea exchange to have variables support multiple values.

@MichelleH @GrantSmith thanks for your input!
I did unpivot my data to try to make it work, however now when I use a simple quick filter, it filters the whole table but I would like to just filter the headcount column, like I would be able to with the variable.
Is there a way to apply quick filters to just one column?0
