I have 1000's of rows of data and 8 of the columns are reserved to tag possible defects. All 8 columns pull from the same drop down list of all possible defects. I have 8 columns set aside because a row may contain multiple defects.
What I want to do is look up a single defect (ie "scratches") within all 8 columns. See my attached simplified example. If I filter column B for scratches, the scratched part in row 4 will be ignored. Can I apply a filter across multiple columns?
I am staffing an upcoming event with volunteers and I want to be able to a single volunteer across their various shifts and locations. However, I cannot guarantee that a particular volunteer will always be in the same column on my spreadsheet so AutoFilter doesn't do the trick. I've tried using Advanced Filter options as well, but I either can't seem to get it to work or it won't work with strings.
I've attached a sample of the type of document I'm working in (genericized) so hopefully my below questions will make more sense.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to be able to search/filter for Joe and see rows 2 and 3 appear. Is this possible?
Additionally, I'd like to know who is also on shift together. For example, is there a way to search for Tony and Sarah together and have row 5 appear. I know that I can do this now with filtering column 2 and then 3, but the real document I'm using is over 800 rows long (very big event!) and using progressive filtering would take longer than I'd like.
Well we are trying to fetch some data using excel filters. But we are unable to apply filter simultaneously on two excel columns. The problem is explained in the attached sheet. If you have any query/doubt in understanding the whole problem then writ it.
I am having a problem filtering information within mulitple columns. I do not understand how the advanced search works either, so let me try to explain what is going on. I would post a pic of the table to make it easier to understand if I knew how to.I have thousands of rows in Column A with information, for this scenario a number. Thing is that all these numbers are seperated by many blank rows.
Ex: Row 1 has a number, Rows 2-10 are blank, Row 11 has a number, Rows 12-24 are blank, etc. Over in Column C, for every row that has a number in Column A, there is a corresponding number in Column C followed by Rows of numbers. ex: Row 1 Column A has corresponding information in Rows 1-10 of Column C.If this is clear, understand that this repeats for tens of thousands of lines. When I am looking for a specific number in Column A, I do a filter for just that number.
When that happens, it only brings up the info from that same row in Column C. I need the filter to bring up all ten rows of info in Column C that correlate to the row I filtered in Column A. I know the easiest way is to label all the rows in column A with the same number, but the reason the blanks are in place is so it is easier to read the breaks between the different information.
I have a spreadsheet with multiple columns. The first column defines a "route", and the next two list "start" and "end" cities for that route. The fourth column lists the length of each route. There are only a limited number of cities, so the same entries appear in both "start" and "end" several times. I would like to use Autofilter to sort the list for every appearance of a given entry in either "start" or "end". Is there a way to make Autofilter sort mutiple columns simultaneously?
I could achieve the desired end result with Advanced Filter, but I want something with the ease-of-use and immediate update/response of Autofilter. Advanced Filter requires explanation (as well as lots of clicking and typing) whereas Autofilter is self-evident. I also want to avoid VBA Macros as they are not well-understood by the users who will use this spreadsheet (and any VBA Macro will require very specific input to work properly.) Is it possible to do what I want? Or is Advanced Filter / VBA the only way to do it?
I have a very large table and i need to be able to Hide/show specific ranges based on:
Filter +and+ specific cell values in columns
brief example of the table : tablee.png
So... 1. Filter Column "B" (in this case we select "HELPING") 2. Auto hide/show collumns. - IF "C1" = "Required" THAN Show "C:E", IF "C1" ="N/A" , HIDE "C:E" and so on for every column like above.
There are over 80 columns like the "C:E" range. and I only need to show those that are "Required".
How do I filter multiple columns of information with the use of one dropdown arrow?
see the attached picture (jpg.) for a visual representation of exactly what I am trying to achieve. Excel Filtering.jpg
I have also attached an Excel Filtering Example spreadsheet for use in explaining how to create this type of stacking filter. Excel Filtering Example.xlsx
Is there a known method for filtering (across) columns in the same way Excel filters (down) rows? Prefer a non-Pivot Table, non-Data/Transpose solution.
how to filter rows AND columns in a worksheet. I filtered the one column in the spreadsheet (the main "yes, no, or n/A" for each row). Now I want to be able to filter each row. For example, if the column response is "yes" (most are), I want to filter each row to the "yes's, no's, or n/a's" for each column in that row (it's pretty long, from C to KS). I have attached a sample worksheet (the one I am working on minus confidential information).
Basically - I need to filter by a column and THEN, filter each row by the Yes's, No's or NA's in the columns associated with those rows.
I have spreadsheet that tracks flights between cities. The spreadsheet has become quite large, so I need a few simple tools or tricks to search it efficiently.
To keep things simple: the spreadsheet has "Departs" and "Arrives" columns, tracking the cities on either end of a flight. (See below)
If my boss says, "give me a list of all flights going through New York," I have to manually filter for "New York" in the "Departs" column, copy that to another spreadsheet, then filter again for "New York" in the "Arrives" column, and manually glue the results together. In my little toy example, that's not a big deal, but when there are up to a couple hundred flights (and just as many cities), this gets tedious and error-prone.
Is there some handy way of filtering for "New York" in both the "Departs" and "Arrives" columns? Or some other way of achieving the same thing? ("Find All" isn't useful unless I can export the full rows into a spreadsheet.)
I want a checkbox to filter column with specific value and hide others. And also there are two checkbox, one should be automaticly unchecked if we check another checkbox.
I am trying to hide empty columns, excluding the header, from data that has been auto filtered. I can accomplish this when the data is not filtered by hiding columns that are empty below the header.
My question is: How do I get the "For each Col in Activesheet..." loop to only apply to the filtered values and not those that are hidden.
I have a 6000+ row database with 5 columns across. The 5 columns have the following headings: Hair Color, Eye Color, Age, Location, and Salary.
I have created macros that will filter each column based on criteria - for example:
[Code].....
As you can see, at cell J10 and K10, I list the filter that is used for a particular search. Some searches, will only have 2 search criteria, some may have all 5, etc.
On a separate worksheet (in the workbook), I have a "Report Tab", my question (after a long build up) is how do I dynamically change the columns and values on the "Report" tab depending on the search that I perform? For example, if I did a two variable filter (Hair and Salary), those would be the only two columns on the report - if I did all five variables for the search, all columns would be on the report, and so on.
Sheet one contains a table of table from C6:AY7000
On Sheet 2, I want to create a summary of data from Sheet 1 based on 2 Criteria which applies to column I and N.
On Sheet 1, I have put in a formula to link to sheet 2 for the criteria to make things easier.
So BN3 = Sheet2C3 And BN4= Sheet2C4
I have managed to run my coding to filter the data that I correctly want to copy and paste onto sheet 2 - however I only want to copy specific columns.
This is the coding I have written to select and filter the correct data values.
Sub AddFilter() ' ' AddFilter Macro ' Dim rCrit1 As Range, rCrit2 As Range With Application .EnableEvents = False .ScreenUpdating = False
[Code] .......
This now gives me the correct data in the table.
I want to copy the visible cells from this table but only for columns e, dr, r, v, w, o, z, AD, AG, AQ, AW, AY
The copied data will then be pasted into sheet 2 starting in cells B9
I plan to attach a button on sheet 2, so when the user updates the values in C3 and C4, this will update values in BN3 and BN4 on sheet1, they can run my macro which will go to sheet 1, filter the data on what they have entered and paste the correct values.
I have 3 times series data in excel (returns on stock, market return and risk free return), each has their own date corresponding to its return, so 6 columns all up.
Imagine it like this: Date | Stock Return -- Date | Market Return -- Date | Risk Free Return
The problem is that the 3rd data set (risk free return), its date column mismatch the dates column of the first two (returns on stock and market). So the obviously solution is to basically get the third time series data to only show the same dates as the first two.
I want to use the first two data sets date's as like a benchmark for the third data set to only show those dates.
I have tried filter/advanced filter in Excel 2007 and spent ages on google/youtube but no luck; it wont let me try to match specific cells to filter out dates from a specific series of cells.
I have a file with a bunch of columns in it. Columns C and D have names in them. I want to filter on these two columns where the results show all rows where the selected name is in both.
Example, If I filter on Column C first on 2 specific names (Joe and Chris), it will not show the results in column D if that name was aligned with a different name in column C (Mark and Steve). I need all rows to come back.
Column C Column D Joe Joe Chris Chris Joe Chris Joe Mark Joe Steve Chris
I am running a auto filter macro to I need to change it to only copy column A:B and past in column C:D in the sheet called "Diary". How to change my current macro to only select column A:B and paste it. It is currently pasting the entire row.
I have an Excel sheet with all client information...For clinical supervision I want my team members to open their own "Supervision.xls" and click a button...this button will open "Client.xls" and select "Client info sheet"...It will then hide rows c,d,g & f...it will then filter column "e" based on the specific caseworkers name ( say "Joe") and copy only the visable columns back to their "supervision.xls" Values only (doesn't effect the colour formating of Supervision.xls) then close "Client.xls"
I created a contact list that incorporates buttons at the top of the page to sort the data based on two customer type columns (thanks to Richard for help getting this far!).
I am attaching the file so that it will be easier to take a look. Four of the five macros are working fine but the second one ("All Clients") filters on the premise that "yes" is answered in either of the two customer type columns. In other words I am trying to show the records that have "yes" entered in either of these two columns, not necessarily both columns.
I'd like to filter a column and paste only 2 columns to another sheet in the first available row. I found a code that was posted by Tom Ogilvy and made a few adjustments: ....
I have a large worksheet in drive C: called 'hits.csv' that has manufacturer part numbers in column G and column L.
I need macro code to find all rows in the worksheet where the part number in each cell in column G is exactly the same as the part number on the same row in the corresponding cell in column L. The macro should then delete/remove all rows where there is no exact match.
Note: The part number in every cell in column G is the only thing that is in each cell in that column. However just to warn you that the part number in every cell in column L is at the beginning of each cell, followed by a space and then a description of the part.
Once it has done the above, I would also like this macro code to open a worksheet called 'partnumbers.csv' in drive C:. It should then compare the part numbers in column A of this file with the part numbers in the above worksheet ('hits.csv'). The cells in Column D of the file 'partnumbers.csv' all contains a price. Where the macro finds an exact match on the part numbers in these 2 files, it should copy the price from the cell in column D in the file 'partnumbers.csv', into Column K of the other file, 'hits.csv' where the match exists.
