wildcard for searching number and date fields

[rob1234]

I've been doing finds for * inorder to see how many records have data in each field but * doesn't work in date or number fields. Is there a wildcard I can search with for number and date fields that will do the same. Thanks. Filemaker 5.5.

Inserting "=" into a field and selecting the Omit checkbox is equivalent to using "*" and will work in date/number/time fields.
