Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi Guys,

I have created a formula column called ductwork, which simply outputs a 1 if the task name contains the word ductwork and 0 if not. My formula works great, however I would now like to create a filter to hide all 0's in a column, I have tried the filter tab, but it appears it wont let me filter the column. Can anyone offer some advice regarding how I can over come this?

Hi Craig,

Didi you have any particular reason for going about it this way?

As Mike says, you can setup a filter to searh activity titles using the 'Bar/Task title' filter condition which will acheive the same result.

Hi Craig

Two options.

You can copy paste the results of your formula into a user field and filter on that.

Just filiter on *Ductwork* in the Names and Titles filter section.

Best regards
