    Extracting data based on partial data in a cell

    Hi

    I have a spreadsheet full of data and I need to extract only those lines of data which can be identified by the last three letters in a cell. Sorry if this description is not great but I am adding an example spreadsheet which highlights the rows I am trying to extract based on the contents in column B but only where column B ends in KY. Any assistance would be appreciated

    Your example does not match your explanation. In the sheet you want to extract all rows where column B contains CS ???

    Pepe, thanks you are right. To clarify (hopefully) I need to extract all rows of data where the data in column B contains the code CS somewhere in the description.

    Regards

    After adding headers to the columns use the Filter then custom filter on "contains" CS and copy paste the result where necessary
    or
    select "does not contain " CS and delete the resulting rows
