    pivot table - 'AND' filtering - is it possible?

    I can't seem to find any easy solution - hope someone can help. I have 30,000 rows of data that all begin with various 30+ common digits (11-xxxx, 12-xxxx, 18-xxxxx) and have rows that indicate yearly sales quantity and dollar volumes etc. I created a pivot table which gives me all the data I want. Now I want to create a label filter which contains only certain pre-fixes, such as 11, 22, 85, 98 & 99 ... while ignoring all the rest of the data. I have tried to filter using 'Begins with' but I can't seem to choose multiple beginning digits. I have tried using a comma, semi colon, colon as a separator... but nothing is working. I don't see an 'AND' command anywhere either. These numbers are not in a given range and there are hundreds of data points for each 2 digit pre-fix, so manually selecting them really isn't an option either, but I'd like to see them all together in one list.

    Is this possible?

    Thanks.

    Terri

    hi terri. an easier option to do it is to add a column in your source data. let's say your column with digits are in Column A:
    =LEFT(A2,2)
    So u can just include this field in your pivot & do the filtering.

    let me know if this is what u need
