I'm getting seriously mad... ;)

I have this data table:

</tbody>[/TABLE]

...about 230 rows worth

If I use the Data, Advanced Filter to extract rows that have a defined customer and an APC above 5, that works well (The two criteria columns under "Regular")

If I try to extract just rows with an undefined customer (# instead of a number), that works well. (The criteria column under "Unassigned")

BUT - if I try to extract defined customers with a low APC, Excel invariably and whatever I do insists on returning the low APCs but ALSO the # customers. (two criteria columns under "APC low")


What????

Can anybody give me a hint as to why "<>#" works in one setting but not in another?

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest

Delete the quotes <>"#"

Try
<>#
