Default Look up from spreadsheet based on 6 criteria

Rich,

Select all the cells in your database, then choose Data / Filter....
AutoFilter.

At the top of each column will appear a small dropdown. Use those dropdowns
to either
select a specific criteria (such as style) or select Custom and use the Less
than / Less than or equal to / Greater than/ etc. options to set the
limits. Excel will hide the rows where one or more values don't meet your
criteria.

If you want to have the values entered elsewhere, you would require a macro
to apply the filters. Much better is to just get into the habit of using
the dropdowns to directly select the criteria.

HTH,

Hi,

In Excel 2003, I have a page where my people will put in 6 criteria;
Style,
Min Sq Footage, Max Sq Footage,# Bedrooms, # Baths, Garage stalls.

I need to search thru the plans data base to list the plan numbers that
match ( or <) all 6 criteria. Can anyone please tell me how to do this?
