• List range: - Table of data which are Filtered
• Criteria range: - enter the criteria (the value that we find)
• Copy to: - where you want copy to another location
• Unique records only - if you do not see duplicate records

• <= less equals
• >= more equals
• Not equal

Special Characters

• * - few characters (even zero)
• ? - one character
• ~ - search for special characters in the text as *,?,~
