Wildcards in filter

If there are a lot of values for specific field, it is possible to use wildcards in visual level filters, like:

 

starts with

422??-8pp

or

contains

422ba-*s

 

Regards.

@jcaranibar you certainly can, make sure your column is of data type Text, drop it to filters area -> Advanced filtering and their you will have options to do that such 'contains' and 'do not contain'

But this doesn't support wildcards...any other suggestion?

just enclose your expression in the filter in the single quote

works fine with ?, but i did not test with *

 

example '422??-8pp'
