does not contain letter filter
I am trying to do an advanced filter using data in the rows above my data
i have four columns that I am filtering. columns A-C contain numeric data and I am not having any issue with those filters. column D has a three letter rating system ranging from AAA to FFF (each of the three letters could be A,B,C,D,F...for example you could have ACA, ABD, ADD, etc...) I would like to filter that column for records that does not contain a C,D, or F. I tried ="<*C*" (for example) but it is not working. how can I write that formula so that it looks at all three letters and excludes any C's,D's,F's? Thanks |

In the criteria range, put the rating column heading in the top 3 cells.
In the 3 cells below, enter criteria to exclude each of the 3 letters. The criteria range will look like this: Rating Rating Rating <*C* <*D* <*F* Memphus01 wrote: I am trying to do an advanced filter using data in the rows above my data i have four columns that I am filtering. columns A-C contain numeric data and I am not having any issue with those filters. column D has a three letter rating system ranging from AAA to FFF (each of the three letters could be A,B,C,D,F...for example you could have ACA, ABD, ADD, etc...)

Debra's answer is correct.
If the result you are getting is not correct then you are 1. not following the instructions properly or 2. you are not telling us everything. Show us a column of data, show us you criteria range, and show us the results you are getting and the results you want. 1. Suppose the title is in cell D1 and is Code. Then in F1:H1 enter the word Code in each cell. In F2:H2 enter <*c* <*d* <*F* 2. Select the range D1:D100 anc choose Data, Filter, Advanced Filter 3. Make sure the List Range is D1:D1000 4. Click in the Criteria Range box and pick F1:H2 5. Click OK. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "Memphus01" wrote: Thanks for the reponse Debra- I am still getting the same results...

Thanks Debra and Shane- Here is an example of the layout I have right now.
When I run the fileter I am still showing data that has one of the letters in the rating Criteria <.80 99 <*C* <.80 99 <*C* .79 <99 <99 <*C* <.80 99 <*D* <.80 99 <*D* .79 <99 <99 <*D* <.80 99 <*F* <.80 99 <*F* .79 <99 <99 <*F* Data 81% 150 92 AAB 88% 101 164 AAB 89% 134 59 BAA 82% 155 109 AAB 79% 162 43 AAB 79% 177 121 ACC 92% 102 103 AAA 86% 122 124 DBB 67% 213 50 AAC "Shane Devenshire" wrote: Debra's answer is correct.

What headings do you have on the Data columns?
You should have the same headins in the criteria range. Also, all 3 of the letter criteria need to be on the same row, not in separate rows. When they're in the same row, the Operator is And, e.g. doen't contain C AND doesn't contain D AND doesn't contain F If you have them on separate row, the Operator is OR, which will let unwanted characters slip through the filter. Add your headings in the first row of the heading, and three rows of criteria below, e.g. Col01 Col02 Col03 Code Code Code <.80 99 <*C* <*D* <*F* <.80 99 <*C* <*D* <*F* .79 <99 <99 <*C* <*D* <*F* Memphus01 wrote: Thanks Debra and Shane- Here is an example of the layout I have right now.

Thanks Debra- I can't believe I didn't think about the fact that each filter
was letting the other letters in! "Debra Dalgleish" wrote: What headings do you have on the Data columns? You should have the same headins in the criteria range.
