Description Rafael Strozi 2015-08-10 21:28:25 UTC
When filtering informations on a pivot table on LibreOffice Calc 5.0.0.5, when set the flag 'Regular Expression' on, the regex doesn't work, when set the flag 'Regular Expression' off, it works ok.

I see now, but sorry, regular expression doesn't work as you are using it.
Wildcards don't work alone and not in the same way than in 123 or excel.

Instead only '*' use '.*', search for TEST.*

'.' Represents any single character except for a line break or paragraph break. For example, the search term "sh.rt" returns both "shirt" and "short".

'*' Finds zero or more of the characters in front of the "*". For example, "Ab*c" finds "Ac", "Abc", "Abbc", "Abbbc", and so on.

Please take a look in the help for regular expressions. They are really powerful much more than wildcards.

Please if you are not agree, reopen it.
