Hi,
Try this Title1 Title2 *Saturday* *Saturday* Where Title1 and Title2 are the titles at the tops of your data columns F and G Note that the two conditions are on separate rows. For example the above is entered in A1:B3. Use this as the Criteria range for Advanced Filter -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "Daren" wrote: Thanks, but it did not seem to work properly. I ented the formula as you said by inserting two spacer columns in F and G. Then I entered the formula like you stated below in column G and used that as the advanced filter criteria. The formula returned FALSE even when Saturday appeared in those cells. Then I broke the formula below into two separate columns where I would need to find the word Saturday, with a header row in D1, the formula =OR(NOT(ISERROR(FIND("Saturday",D6))) in cell D2. Then I entered another header row in E1 and the formula =OR(NOT(ISERROR(FIND("Saturday",E6))). When I used those as the criteria to search in the data set all rows were hidden. What can be the problems here? Thanks again.

Bob Umlas Excel MVP "Daren" wrote in message ... Hello, I have text values in 2 columns of cells that contain the word Saturday in any length of values...e.g, The First Saturday, That Saturday was Nice. I want to be able to use an advanced filter to show any rows that contain the word Saturday in both columns. How can I do this assuming that Saturday can appear in columns D and E? Thanks. |
