Custom Filter

[cosmicmiami]

I have a column that contains many letters. These are "certification" codes. The column could be any one or several codes.

1 3 4 Htr U T Do Da
3 4 4tmp U Do Da HT T
1 UT TU T

I want to filter for all rows that contain 4 and T (and other combinations).

Can't seem to get this to work.

Thanks.

try:
Data => Filter => Text Filters => Contains => Includes A AND Includes T

When I do that I am returned all codes that have a T or t in it. I need to be able to isolate the individual codes. I tried putting a quote on the T, "T" and it didn't work.

then do it with a helper column. Your strings in column A:
=(ISNUMBER(FIND(4,A2))+ISNUMBER(FIND("T",A2))=2)
and filter by true

or shorter:

=COUNT(FIND({4,"T"},A2))

and filter for 2

I don't want to count them, I want to filter.
