hi Gilles, i tried doing this but the problem is that it filters the products
out only. I need to get the orders that contain product A AND product B. With
the auto filter i get (from the previous example):

Column A Column B Column C
Order# Product Quantity
00001 A 3
00001 B 4

00002 A 1

00003 B 3

00004 A 3
00004 B 4

whereas what i need to get is:

Column A Column B Column C
Order# Product Quantity
00001 A 3
00001 B 4
00001 C 5

00004 A 3
00004 B 4
00004 C 4

all the orders containing A and B at the same time.
thanks,
gigi

Hi Gigi,

Data, Filter, Auto Filter. Then in the Product column click on the small
black triangle, click on Custom and choose equal to A and OR equal to B

i am struggling to find an easy way to get all the orders containing ONLY
product A and B. Here is the kind of spreadsheet i have:

Column A Column B Column C
Order# Product Quantity
00001 A 3
00001 B 4
00001 C 5
00002 A 1
00003 B 3
00003 C 1
00004 A 3
00004 B 4
00004 C 4

I want to get just the orders that contain product A and B (basically
00001
and 00004). Can't do it with my pivot without creating an additional
column
and extracting the orders that contain A and B, not elegant and time
consuming. I am sure excel has something built-in that allows you to do
that
quickly. Am I missing something?
thank you,
