By using Asterisks before & after ‘CM’, we’re simply rendering the information to the Excel function that there might be more texts before or after ‘CM’ and thus the function follows the command to show the exact output from the range of cells or an array.Ħ. Like in the picture below, you’ll get the model names with ‘CM’ text inside. Assuming, we’re going to find the text “CM” in the column of Model names. ~ (Tilde) – Represents the presence of a wildcard character in the text.īy using Asterisk(*) before and after a text in the criteria section, we can search for a specific text string in our table. * (Asterisk) – Represents any number of characters. ? (Question Mark) – Represents any single character in a text. There are 3 types of wildcard characters in Excel. Advanced Filter with Wildcards to Find Specific Texts You’ll find the filtered table with all unique rows without any duplications.ĥ. Put a mark on the Unique Records option and press OK. We’ll filter the entire data to show all rows without duplications.Ĭriteria Range: (You don’t need to define here now) There are a number of duplicate rows in the table that I’ve highlighted with different colors. Our dataset has been modified a bit for this section. As we’ll follow the similar procedure every time to input List Range and Criteria Range in the Advanced Filter dialogue box, so I’ll mention only List Range as well as Criteria Range from this section to all next ones.Īnd here’s the filtered output in the following picture. We’ll filter the data for the devices made in Japan that cost not more than $800 and the devices made in Taiwan that cost not more than $900. Based on our dataset, we’ll add two different criteria in two columns. We can combine both AND and OR criteria in Advanced Filter. You’ll get the filtered result like in the following screenshot. ➤ Select the range of cells E25:E27 for the Criteria Range. ➤ The List Range will occupy the range of cells- B5:G23. Thus you have to add criteria in a column under the related header for OR logic. In the criteria section( E25:E27), Japan and Taiwan are lying in a column under the Country of Origin header. Assuming that we want to filter the table for the devices made in Japan and Taiwan only. Now we’ll filter with OR criteria that means two different criteria will be applied to one single column. Advanced Filter will search for the selected criteria under that defined header from the criteria section in your Excel sheet. For the criteria section in the spreadsheet, you have to use headers for the related columns where filtering criteria will be applied. To use Advanced Filter effectively, you must have to select the criteria with two rows at least otherwise it won’t work out. Like the picture below, you’ll find the filtered data according to the selected criteria. ➤ Select the criteria array( E25:F26) for Criteria Range. ➤ For List Range, select the entire array or the table( B4:G23). ➤ From the Data tab, select the Advanced command from the Sort & Filter group of commands. We’re going to extract data for all devices made in the USA and those with prices of not more than $850. Now we’ll use Advanced Filter under different criteria to extract multiple results. Column B to Column G represents a number of random computer brands, device types, model names, countries of origin, dates of release, and prices of the devices respectively. Let’s get introduced to our dataset first. 15 Suitable Uses of Advanced Filter for Multiple Criteria in Excel 1.
