Default Auto Filter

I have a membership list with col F having the birthdays with a text format
of 05/19 (I could change the format if necessary). I need to make a list of
birthdays occuring in a certain month

Any help would be appreicated

Hi Oldjay,

Set the custom filter condition for column F to:

Equals MM*

where MM is the month nimber, i.e. 01* for January birthdays,

You are correct that auto filter is a reasonable approach. We only need to
isolate the month. In an un-used column insert =LEFT(F1,2) and copy down.
This will be the month. Autofilter on this column to get your monthly list.
