Excel 2007 custom filter problem
Solved/Closed
Hello, I have been using Excel 2003 to sort phone numbers easily, using the custom filter and 'begins with' for example on numbers starting with 123. I am now using Excel 2007 and this just doesn't work anymore. I have tried changing the format from number, to general, to text and none of them return any values. My numbers do not start with a '0' but in 2003 it never seemed to make any difference at all. Why can't they just leave things as they were? working!
Any help gratefully received.

Could you please upload a sample EXCEL file WITH sample data, macro, formula , conditional formatting etc on some shared site like https://authentification.site , http://docs.google.com, http://wikisend.com/ , http://www.editgrid.com etc
AND post back here the link to allow better understanding of how it is now and how you foresee. Based on the sample book, could you re-explain your problem too.
Note: your data need not be to be real data but a good representative of how data looks like

Hi
I have posted a sample (very basic) on
https://authentification.site/files/26943316/test.xlsx
(polevevoteto).
As I mentioned before, It really shouldn't be an issue, but I cannot custom filter the numbers to only show those values which begin with a number '1', regardless of the way the numbers are formatted.

It seems to me that excel is treating "text" number as numeric and same when numbers ar treated as numbers . If your numbers are of same numbers of characters, then perhaps instread of saying starts with 1, you can say > 10000000
