Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
this did not work when I converted Excel spreadsheet to a text file and then opened in Notepad. The cells did not have the correct character position for each column.
