    Advanced filter

    I have a data base with hundreds of email addresses. I want to filter out
    certain addresses from the list, for example those which are clearly not
    domestic such as those ending in ".de"

    Here is an example of a section of the list:
    autoweigh@mcimail.com
    avanti@cadvision.com
    avt.gmbh@city.web.de
    ayrexir@tandem-resources.com
    b@dragonmax.com
    bags@smurfit.com
    bairaudi@argonics.com

    How do I use advanced filter to delete such selections? Others might
    be .cn, .tw. etc.

    Thanks you

    If it were me, I would probably create a new column. Suppose emails are in
    B2 and down. In C2, put =if(right(b2,3)="com","","review")
    Copy that formula down. Select ALL of the formulas you placed and, without
    moving your cursor, hit Edit-->Paste special, Values, OK.
    Then sort by this new column (make sure it's got a header like your other
    columns), and review all the ones marked "review". By sorting, you can
    quickly delete anything that's not a "com" addy. Delete this extra column
    when you're done.
