2nd HS Fre, Hist Phys, Comp Sci Robotics, Art News

I'm hoping to be able to do this: for HS 1, search multiple columns for "Computer Science" and indicate in a separate column whether that subject is listed; and the same for robotics under extracurriculars, etc. Sorry for not being more clear about that! Is that possible?

Ugh that looks awful and is incomprehensible, sorry. I'll post a new question with a chart that makes sense. Sorry about that!
