I have records with string as data type. I would need to find out cases where the record starts with "0". 

I want to use Custom Filter to track this. Thanks for your assistance.

I doubt if you can acheive this with only Filter tool, rather I would go for a Regex tool or Formula tool, then combine with Filter tool to acheive this result.

Hi @Satyaki04 ,

Try left function . You can use this in filter  :  left([field],1) = '0'

Thanks for guiding me.

 

I have proceeded as below:

 

left([WBS NUMBER],1)!="0"

 

This has helped me to group cases starting with "0" under false category.
