    Excel Filter

    Hi,

    I have a list of schools in a column. I need to filter this list or column by searching for key words such as "High School" "elementary School" or "Middle school" since all the schools have different names, it would be a great help if I could sort them by these categories.

    Does anyone know this formula, I believe a IF formula is needed, but I am kinda IFFY on that formula. lol
