advanced filters

is it possible to use an advanced filter to find data that does not match a
condition?

for example, i have a file i need to filter that has one column that can
have a value of "k" or be empty. The filter easily finds those records that
have "k" in column c. How would i find those records that dont have a "k"
in them?

You can set up a Criteria range, say, in F1:F2 with F1 left empty and F2
housing:

=ISERR(SEARCH("k",C2))

Not sure you even need to use advanced filter, Auto Filter should do it if,
in the dropdown, you select Custom> Does not contain> k

You don't need the advanced filter just the auto filter
In the drop down filter, select custom filter, in the 1st box select does
not equal, box to right type or select k from drop down.
