For example, in Indonesian, the word is "Police" and various variations of the word, from Polis, Police, Muspika etc. Is there a way for Excel to recognize similar words based on the original word ( Such as being able to recognize Polis as a variation of Police ) based on the similar letters and automatically include it in an advanced filter searching for the word "Police".
Additionally, what about if the abbreviation is unrecognizable, such as it being shortened to "Police" or "Polrek" or other hard to recognize slang, ESPECIALLY if it's in a foreign language that google translate does not recognize due to it being slang.
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
