Hello!What I have:At the moment the inserted filter that I can put on a column has a list of things in the column, and by choosing an option I can filter for that *exact* option.What I want:I have a column of cells that contain various words. Examples: "tree", "tree fish", "tree apple smile", "smile"I'd like to instead use the drop-down to filter for cells that contain multiple keywords"tree" or "apple".I know that this is possible, but as far as I know only through a lengthy series of clicks that only allows for two keywords.Thanks for any help you can provide!
