    you mean you are searching for the literal value/string of 0561****? or you're searching for cell values that start with the numbers 0561?

    Using Power Query, I created a parameter that allows you to set the variables that you need. The attached file holds all the information. Fill in the data in I2 and K2 and then click on the Refresh Button on the PQ/Data Tab. If you want to understand this more, then click on the link below for a tutorial.

    File is attached for your review and further info on PQ follows.

    Power Query is a free AddIn for Excel 2010 and 2013, and is built-in functionality from Excel 2016 onwards (where it is referred to as "Get & Transform Data").

    It is a powerful yet simple way of getting, changing and using data from a broad variety of sources, creating steps which may be easily repeated and refreshed. I strongly recommend learning how to use Power Query - it's among the most powerful functionalities of Excel.

    - Follow this link to learn how to install Power Query in Excel 2010 / 2013.

    - Follow this link for an introduction to Power Query functionality.

    - Follow this link for a video which demonstrates how to use Power Query code provided.
