Default Excel Filters

Hi

I have 12 worksheets labelled months of the year. *On each sheet I have 8
tables listed like this.

Purchase * * * * * * * * Sales
Purchase * * * * * * * * Sales
Purchase * * * * * * * * Sales
Purchase * * * * * * * * Sales

Each table is for a different grain commodity (4 in total)
I have added filters and subtotals so I can drill down further to see what
different types of commodity and loads are left. *However, I would like to
filter the purchase and sales separately but as they are side by side, when I
filter purchase the sales side shrinks too. *Is there any way I can filter
the purchases and the sales side stays as it is? *And vise versa.

Many thanks for your help.


You could make them into lists instead of filters. First off you need
excel 2003 or above. Then hightlight a group that you want to filter
and right click and select List. If your columns have headers check
box. There is a little grey triangle in the bottom right so you can
resize this list to include and not include data. You can also set up
many lists all over the place.
