Is it possible to have a filter expression for character count?

Hi there,

Is it possible to have a filter expression for character count?

 

In my database I want to filter the view of a colum with "marketing manager" and limit the search to not include results with "business marketing manager".

 

So is there a way to force the result based on character count so it will only return results with the correct amount of characters?

    Yes you *can*, by creating a formula field with the code length('Field 1'). Show this as a column and filter for 17.

    I'd be looking for a better solution than this though. Can your Marketing Manager field be put into a field of type choice, then you can filter directly on this field. This has the added benefit of easier and more accuurate data entry too.

    Regards

    Did you try to put: ="marketing manager" into the filter field?
