Default Filter

When I try to filter a column with cells filled with text Excel are not able
to find all of the words in a "big" cell (more than 250 charachters). Is
there anyone who know if there´s a limit of characters when using filter.

Please help
Thanks
Mia

Default Filter

Text won't be found after 255 characters. There are instructions here
for filtering for text in a long string:
