Excel Advanced filter critera Question...

Hi Guys,

Just a quick one here... use advanced filters all the time and usually with data containing over 30,000 rows. I don't know of any way to use criteria such as 'Not equal to' or 'does not contain' etc. This is available along with many other advanced criteria in the auto filter > custom filter however this only works with upto 1000 rows. Any ideas how i could implement these to my filters I am familair with the syntax used in porgramming like !== etc...

Many thanks

    Hi Scott,

    Hopefully I have understood your problem.

    Try using <> for not equal.
