Hi Bal,

There isn't a concept of Wildcards with GridView functions - rather you need to apply a formula similar to what you would use with Excel.

The LEFT function takes the left-most characters from a string:
LEFT({Docket #},2) would take the first 2 characters.
LEFT(TRIM({Docket #}),2) would get rid of any leading/trailing spaces from the docket code and then take the first two characters.

There is a function called FINDANY that might be useful for your specific docket search:
FINDANY({Docket #},"10-04","10-46","40-04")
The result will be 1 if there are any matches or 0 if there are none. So you would have to use this in a manner like:

AND(
{Last Time/Disb Post Date} >=BEGINYEAR()
,
FINDANY({Docket #},"10-04","10-46","40-04")=0
)

Some tweaking of this may be necessary. Good luck!
