Searching for Excel Documents with Various Extensions Using Everything Tool

[happydz]

Hello Everyone,

I hope this message finds you well. I've been using the Everything tool to efficiently search for files on my PC, and it has been a fantastic asset so far. However, I've encountered a bit of a challenge that I hope some of you might be able to help me with.

I primarily work with Excel documents, but I've noticed that Excel files can have various extensions like .xls, .xlsx, .xlsm, etc. While Everything does a great job at searching for files, I'm struggling to figure out how to search specifically for Excel documents with all these different extensions.

Is there a way to refine my search within Everything to specifically target Excel files with various extensions? I've tried a few approaches, but none seem to yield the results I'm looking for.

Any guidance or tips on how to tackle this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!
