Creating a filter that prompts me for a value

[Greggy]

Hey Gang,
I have tasks that are associated with each other by the numbered in
their name. So, I create filters that show in a calendar a combination
of tasks based on the number they start with. I would like to create a
filter that prompts me. So in the filter, instead of 'includes', '99',
I would like something like 'includes', 'prompt me for the number when
I run the filter.'
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Greggy

Hi Greg,

Create the filter
Field: Name
Test: contains
Value: "What number"?

Please note the value prompt needs to be formatted as starting with a double
quote, ending with a double quote and with a question mark outside the
double quote.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Julie

Hey ... there we go!! can I enter more than one number?? 23+53?
Something like that?

Thanks!

Hi Greg,

You're welcome and thanks for the feedback.

If you wish to test for multiple numbers 23 OR 53 you'll need to modify the
filter with an OR condition.
