Hello,

When using filters, how can I add only search terms but for multiple searches. Eg: in the screen capture, I am trying to have the list show only 'Blue circle' and 'Green square'.

I know this can be done with the conditional text filters but I want to just be able to quickly do it from the main filter list.

Thanks.
 
Aha! Got that working (on my Windows machines at least,
Good news (half at least). :)

I tend to use this handy little utility 'LiceCAP' for quick easy GIF screen caps. I was able to drag the gif straight to the post editor here).
I will have a look at that utility, thanks. I could also have put the gif directly in my post but I actually don't much like looking at forum threads/posts/avatars that move all the time. So I deliberately put it elsewhere so that readers can choose whether or not to look at it. 😎

Select a range of cells. The total appears in bottom right of Excel screen. Right-click total to add Max, Min, Count, Average.
No problem.
