Hello,

If I got an sorted list in column A. How do I find which rows that start with a letter h for example? Do I need to iterate thru the list or came? I do not want to do that because it takes a lot of time. I will do this many times. Are the any command I can use?

Example:
a
b
c
d
h
z

I would like to get row = 5.
