    Filter from a field where the data is separated by comas

    I want to create a pivot table but the data in the column that I want to use as a filter is separated by comas in the same column. Can I choose to filter only by a part of the text somehow?

    Example:
    Column: Papers
    Value: ABS, CMO, DMW

    I want to filter only the records that contain ABS in the field. Is that possible?

    Re: Filter from a field where the data is separated by comas

    In the Field List of your pivot table, under where it says "Choose fields to add to report:", click the drop down arrow on Papers.
    Select "Label Filter" -->"Contains", then type the value (in this case ABS) into the field.
