Hi
lets try the following on a second sheet (for positive amounts in
column B):
in A1 on your second sheet enter the following array formula (entered
with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER):
=IF(ISERROR(INDEX('sheet1'!$A$1:$A$100,SMALL(IF('s heet1'!$B$1:$B$1000,
ROW('sheet1'!$B$1:$B$100)),ROW()))),"",INDEX('shee t1'!$A$1:$A$100,SMALL
(IF('sheet1'!$B$1:$B$1000,ROW('sheet1'!$B$1:$B$10 0)),ROW())))
and copy this down

B1:
=IF(ISERROR(INDEX('sheet1'!$B$1:$B$100,SMALL(IF('s heet1'!$B$1:$B$1000,
ROW('sheet1'!$B$1:$B$100)),ROW()))),"",INDEX('shee t1'!$B$1:$B$100,SMALL
(IF('sheet1'!$B$1:$B$1000,ROW('sheet1'!$B$1:$B$10 0)),ROW())))


Note: These formulas are NOT very efficient and will slow down your
file.

Aladin Akyurek has presented therefore a more efficient formula
solution involving more formulas. Hope I got his approach right for
your sample data :-) If not, Aladin will hopefully reading this and
correct it :-)

---------------------------------
I. On your first worksheet (the source) do the following:
1. Insert 1 row before the source data such that A2:B100 houses the
data.

2. In E1 enter: 0

3. In E2 enter & copy down to E100:

=IF(B20,LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,$E$1:E1)+1," ")


II. on your second worksshet (destination) enter the following:
1. In A1 enter:
=LOOKUP(9.9999999999999E+307,Sheet1!E2:E100)

2. In A2 enter & copy down:
=IF(ROW()-ROW(A$2)+1<=$A$1,INDEX(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$100,MATCH(RO W()-ROW(A$2
)+1,Sheet1!$E$2:$E$100)),"")

3. In B2 enter
=IF(ROW()-ROW(A$2)+1<=$A$1,INDEX(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$100,MATCH(RO W()-ROW(A$2
)+1,Sheet1!$E$2:$E$100)),"")

-------------------------------------

So now it's your choice. Personally I like Aladin's approach as it is
faster (and robust...). If you have only a few records my array
formulas are easier to setup.

That sounds more like it!

You do not know by any chance how that would work?

Thanks,

Hi
you could create some array formulas but if you have more than 100
records this gets quite slow

Thanks, quite usefull add-in though it is not really what i'm
looking
for.
Am looking for a dynamic kind of link that prevends me from doing
this every
time an amount goes from 0 to a positive number. The add-in
actually
uses a
static copy-pastevalues kind of link.

Still quite helpfull add-in though.

Hello all,

I have a long list of items (column A) and say amounts
(column B)
and
want
to create a sublist where only the items are shown with
positive
amounts.

Can this be done without using (advanced) filter?

My cumbersome solution was to add a counter in column C that
increases every
time the amount is positive and then use some "match" and
"offset"
formula's
to create a list. My feeling says it must be possible to do
this
easier.

Thanks,

Johannes
