That's an interesting suggestion, thanks. I was hoping to avoid the macro
recorded and learn some VBA code with this exercise, but this method is
definitely easier.

You could try entering the AND(...) part of your formula as a
calculated criteria to the right of your data, in Z6 say.

Then on a new sheet choose Advanced Filter with list range List!
a5:y65536, criteria List!z5:z6 and Copy to a1 on the new sheet.

This should also be recordable as a macro.

I have a table of between 50,000 and 60,000 records from which I have to
extract several hundred records. The following function, filled down a
helper column, is one way of filtering these records (via the Auto-Filter
tool):

=IF(AND(ISNUMBER(MATCH(LEFT(B6,3),Sheet1!$A$2:$A$1 1,0)),ISNUMBER(MATCH(C6,SÂ*heet1!$B$2:$B$39))),"X" ,"")

B6 is an account number, whose three left digits signify what type of
account it is. A2:A11 in Sheet1 is the list of those three left digits I
want to extract. C6 is an expense code; B2:B39 in Sheet1 is a list of those
expense codes I want to extract. One would run the AutoFilter on the "X"
values returned by the above formula.

However, what I would like to do is have a macro which runs the same logic,
copies the filtered records, and pastes them in a new sheet. Then all I have
to do is attach that macro to a button.

How to do this?

Thanks for any insight.
