Do you want to select them all at once?  You'll need to add a helper column to search by text.

E.g., column M2 and copy down:
[M2]=Text(D2,"0#")

Add column M to the filter, then search on contains 889490

See attached.

Hi

Or

in K2

=RIGHT(D2,6)="889490"

go to Data > Advanced Filter > Check on 'Filter the list, in place'

list range: A1:I827
criteria range: k1:k2

click ok.

Also see the attached image.
