Hello, I have a spreadsheet with ~60k rows. Each has a 8 digit number in the first column. I am trying to isolate all the rows that begin with a few different sets of specific six digits, while the last two can be anything. I have a set of about 15 six digit numbers, anything that does not start with these needs to go.
I would like to delete all the rows that do not begin with these specified 6 digits, and I'm not sure how to do this other than a simple 'find' function with the first 6 digits, then manually deleting all those that do not have these first six digits, which will take very long.
Is there a way to quickly select all the rows with the specific initial 6 digits? I could then copy and past these to another sheet; or, to delete all the rows that do not start with those digits?
Thanks,
Dan
