Hi Mr Excel,

I have a data table field with partial texts and numbers stored in it.
I would like to filter using wildcard but it only works on text field.
Would like to tap your expertise.
Many thanks.

ESN field
123456
554569

775566
ac4567
661177
efg786

Response1 = 456

Sub FilterESN()

Dim Show_Box1 As Boolean
Dim Response1 As String

Sheets("Current").Select
Show_Box1 = True
Response1 = InputBox("Enter the ESN number.", _
"Number Entry", , 250, 75)

If Response1 = "" Then
Show_Box1 = False
End If

ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1").Range.AutoFilter Field:=32, Criteria1:="=*" & Response1 & "*"

End Sub

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Hi & welcome to MrExcel.
As far as I know you cannot use wildcards with numbers in the autofilter.

Could you convert your numbers to text?
