Please help! Displaying only rows with empty cells in a numeric field using Advanced Filter. Thanks

Folks

I am learning how to use the Advanced Filter (Menus: Data, Filter, Advanced Filter). I can’t use Autofilter because in some cases I have to look for records that have to meet more than 2 conditions in the same field

Some of the fields in the list that I am trying to filter have only numeric values. One of the conditions I am trying to define would allow me to filter the list exposing those rows in a numeric field that are blank (empty cells containing no data). I have tried using the following wildcard and formula combinationsâ€
<>* , =C11="" and <g
… in the criteria range (to filter out any cells that have something in it) but <>* only works on alphanumeric fields (not the purely numeric ones). The rest hide everything, including the empty cell I want to show

Please, let me know how to filter my list using the Advanced Filter such that (in combination with my other conditions) I can expose only those rows having empty cells in my numeric field

Thanks in advance to those who contribute

Use simply <>
not <>*

You could also set up a criteria with the first row empty and the 2nd row
being =LEN(C11)=0.
