Thanks David that works great.

Any ideas how I would adjust to to work with a variable amount of Job? ie
the worksheet could end at column E (1 job) or go on for 20 jobs?

I have database in excel that works as follows Column A is the part
number. Column B is the description. Column C is the price per unit.
Column D is the quantity required for Job number 1. Column E is the total
price for each item required in Job number 1. Column F is the quantity
required for Job number 2. Column G is the total price for each item
required for Job number 2. Etc. Is there anyway to use advace filter to
hide all rows that have no entry in the quantity column. Please
understand that Job number 1 might have 2 of item xyz but Job number 2
might have none of item xyz but this row would still need to be visible.

I would suggest that you produce a helper column with the total quantity
of the item across jobs 1 to n, and filter on that.
