Default Filtering a Pivot

Hi

Select the dropdown on the Row field Part DescriptionLabel
filtersContains ,SNA

I would use the comma in front of SNA, so you don't pick up items which
might be Snap Binders for example (should such a description exist)

The Row icon will have a filter icon against it. When you want to clear the
filter, click the dropdown again and choose Clear Filter.

In Excel2007, I have a pivot that I want to filter ( like when you use
Autofilter in a list). I want to use the option "Contains". For
example, I have the follwong data in a pivot ( this is a small
sample):

PART DESCRIPTION Total

Is there a way to now filter this by if the Part Description contains
"SNA"?

Thanks
