Filtering String Data

Hi All,

 

I've tried other options offered in older posts and it's not working for me. Can someone please help me filter the below table of data with anything containing "CY" in the "E&P ADJUSTMENT DESCRIPTION" field?  I've already tried filtering by CONTAINTS("CY") and nothing works.

 

My goal is to isolate items noted with the "CY" note and then replace the value to say "PY" down the chain... I'm at a total loss.

Thank you for offering. How do I do that? This is a large workflow with lots of inputs, as well as confidential information therein.

Hi @shungui 

 

Just provide the data in the image outputted to a excel file.

Please see attached. I'm trying to replace anything with a "CY" note to convert to "PY" descriptions and amounts. 

 

Essentially, last year's "CY" balances are now this year's "PY" balances
