Hello there,

If you have all the Location numbers in sheet 1 no
filtering will occur in your data list.

You need to replace the location numbers you do not want
to see with a text string, eg. xxx. This will block the
criteria line and just give you the records that have the
remaining location in them.

Hope this helps

and failing miserably :(

I've got two sheets in my spreadsheet.
Sheet1 has a subset of location numbers in ColA
Sheet2 has a lot of columns, one of which is the

location number.
Name Hours Location
Fred 8 2
Joe 10 3
Jim 6 2

I'm trying to use the advanced filter to get Sheet2 to

display only
those entries which have their location specified in

Sheet1.

I've taken the List range as being $B$1:$B$1000 (as in

example above)
and the criteria range as being 'Locations'!$A$1:$A$7

and, as far as I
can tell, absolutely nothing happens.

Any suggestions as to how I can go about this?
Cheers
J
