You can use wildcards to search for a name in the list of contacts. But do you know how to use wildcards?
Wildcards for texts
If you want to replace one symbol with a blank value, you should enter a ?. If one or more symbols match the search criteria, you should enter a *.
For example:
a?c = abc,acc,a1c,…
ab* = abc,abcc,abcde,…
?b* = abc,xbaaa,bbbbb,….
Wildcards for figures and dates
If you want to search ‘up to and including’ or ‘from’ a certain date, you should use the *. Naturally, it should also recur in the column name.
For example:
Date (12-05-1973,*) = All dates from May 12, 1973.
Date (*,12-05-1973) = All dates up to and including May 12, 1973.
Date (12-05-1973,23-03-2000) = All dates between May 12, 1973 and March 23, 2000.
