Hi,

I have a worksheet with 950 rows and 4 columns. I want to filter rows with a specific text inside a column. For e.g, say i want to search for the text "marketing-communications" in "sales-marketing-communications". What is the easiest way to do this?

I read about Advanced Filter to do this - I cant get the criteria range right.

Any other ways that I can do this?

Greatly appreciate.

Thanks!

Solution 1

In the column filter, select custom and change the top-left dropdown button to "contains". On the right hand side, enter "marketing-communications" and click OK. That should filter all you want.
