I have some location codes that may be 3 characters or 5 characters. Regardless of how many characters, I need a filter set that will return all location codes that begin with the letter "Y". I've tried 'Contains Y%', with no results. Can someone suggest the correct syntax?
Thanks, in advance, for your help!

Try:
upcase(substr(locationCode,1,1)) = 'Y'
Use it in an advance filter 🙂

In what context are you asking? This will work in some contexts:
code =: 'Y'
Try:
upcase(substr(locationCode,1,1)) = 'Y'
Use it in an advance filter 🙂
//Fredrik
Worked perfectly!! Thanks so much!
