Now, we will discuss the use of various options available.

1. If you need to search the values for a specific format, click on Format dropdown and select Format and select your desired format i.e. Number, Custom etc.

2. If you want to search for a specific Case, check the Match case check box. This option will search for the specified Case structure. For example, if you will enter LONDON, it will only look for word London where the spellings are in Upper Case.
