    What are you wanting to achieve...

    Store the values from Sheet1 Filter i.e. 1.2.3.4 and Filter col A Sheet 2 on wildcards of these values

    Re: Advance filter or filter to get partial strings

    You can not use wild card with an array in autofilter and also can not filter different columns in one line.

    This uses countif formula so if the data is large, it will take time.

    Thank you jindon. It seems complicated. What if I would have only one column to filter without color criteria? It should work ? I tried this and it didn't work for me maybe I am doing something wrong

    2) If no need to filter by color, AdvancedFilter can be also applied.

    Re: Advance filter or filter to get partial strings

    Please explain how this is working:

    "=sum(countif(a1,{" & x & "}))>0"

    In my real data i have result as FALSE but still this is working.
    For each variable is checking if there is occurence and it is - advance filter is taking it?

    Re: Advance filter or filter to get partial strings

    The result of the formula is just for the first record.
    AdvencedFilter will apply that condition to each row.
