    Filtering a column with a list of values seperated by dashes

    Hi,

    I would like to filter a column whose rows include multiple values separated by dashes. Say:

    Column 1
    a/b/c
    b/d/c
    a/f/g

    Now I want to filter out the rows which include "a" (in the above example 1st and last row).

    Thanks.

    Use three helper columns splitting out the data into THREE columns, since the split does matter to you.

    Create a filter and click on the dropdown menu and then go to "Text Filters" and then "Does not contain" and type in the letter you want to filter out.
