I have a table with multiple records and many columns. Each record has a
status field with values either 1 or 2 (open or closed). I wish to create a
new shorter table in the same worksheet with only the "open" records.


Create a two cell criteria range, say A1:A2 with the field name for
the open column in A1 and '1' in A2.

Copy the field headings to where you want the shorter table to be.


Use: Data --Filter -- Advanced Filter from the menu, choose the
'Copy to another location' option and select the original table, and
the criteria range in the appropriate boxes, then "OK"
