Wildcard Advanced Filter
Hi all,
I have a column of staff numbers like so: 30002042 30002026 30002072 30002070 30002094 30002008 30002022 30002018 30002099 30002031 30002062 When I try to find all staff whose number ends in 2, my *2 wildcard criteria is retirning no records. I have tried formatting the range to number, general and text to no avail! Can anyone tell me what I'm missing here? Many thanks Andy |

Wildcard characters only work with text values. The easiest way I can think
would be to create a helper column with: =--RIGHT(A2,1) copied down, and then have the Advanced Filter search on with a criteria of just 2. -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "ajayb" wrote: Hi all, I have a column of staff numbers like so: 30002042 30002026 30002072 30002070 30002094 30002008 30002022 30002018 30002099 30002031 30002062 When I try to find all staff whose number ends in 2, my *2 wildcard criteria is retirning no records.

Thanks Luke. Was hoping for a more straightforward way but at least it does
the trick! Regards Andy "Luke M" wrote: Wildcard characters only work with text values.

Hi Herbert,
Unfortunately I'm using 2003, should have said that at the beginning. Thanks for your help though. Regards Andy "Herbert Seidenberg" wrote: Excel 2007 PivotTable No formula or helper needed. http://www.mediafire.com/file/mmtzbz...02_11_10a.xlsx . |
