Create a Filter to include XX but exclude YY

Overview

If you want to create a filter to include everything that starts with XX, but exclude everything that ends in YY, you have to use a combination of NL("Filter") and NP("Difference") functions.

For example:

You want a list of Job Numbers that begin with XX, but exclude all the job numbers that end in YY:

=NL("Rows","Job","No.","No.",NP("Difference",NL("Filter","Job","No.","No.","XX*"),NL("Filter","Job","No.","No.","*YY")))
