Last modified: 2008-05-17 23:13:54 UTC
User usually set Auto-Filter in a table of data, then choose which item will be shown by choosing filter in selected column. There is three options in auto filter in each column: - all - standard - Top 10 The standard filter only have items for numeric filtering (> = < Largest Smallest Largest %, Smallest %), but none for String filtering like (contains, begin with, etc). Attached is Ms. Excel Filter.
