Hi,

I need to find all the records where the field "Material" starts with a letter. The first character is either a letter or a number.

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
Hi,

In your query enter an expression such as this into the Field row:-

Expr1: IsNumeric(Left$([MyTable]![Material],1))

Change the 'MyTable' bit to the name of your table.

In the Criteria row of the query design view type the word True.

Does that work for you?
