I am performing an advanced filter in Excel. One of my list fields is Name.
When trying to display all of the records that end in with a specific
character (lets say 'e'), I use the following criteria:

*e

When I apply the advanced filter, I am getting all the records that have an
'e' anywhere in the name field.

I'm pretty sure I'm using the wildcard correctly. Enough to drive you nuts .
. .

Thanks in advance,

Randy

Thank you Debra! Your website just made my favorites list.

I'm going to find out why that works before I die.
