Default custom autofilter in excel

With a Custom AutoFilter, you can only enter two criteria. I previously
suggested adding a column to your table, and filtering on that column.
Did you try that?

thank u so much for the info
but what i really wanted is just a simple way to filter out my desired
values, is being put in which row, that is all, i do not want to create
another table for this, for e.g. just show the rows that has the values
'abc', 'ghi' and 'mno'. Is there any other simpler way to achieve this?

You could use a pivot table to summarize the data. Add the column with
letter values to the row area, and another copy of the column to the
data area, where it will appear as Count of value.

There are pivot table instructions and links he
