Default Rearrange data in columns

Hi

Use Advanced Filter, but be sure to start the filter from your Destination
worksheet.
Full details can be found at Debra Dalgleish's site

Can anyone possibly suggest a solution to this small problem.
I'm sure it's very easy, but I just can't think of how to do it.

I have a worksheet with the following columns

A B C
Quantity Type Distance(mm)
3 X 1243
1 X 2256
2 Y 876
1 X 6556
3 Y 554
1 X 222


I would like to create a table on a separate worksheet with the same
column
headings, but only have a list of the type 'X' (i.e. ignore everything
apart
from X)
Like this, without any blank rows between:
A B C
Quantity Type Distance(mm)
3 X 1243
1 X 2256
1 X 6656
1 X 222

However, there are one or two restrictions...
Also, I cannot modify the original table (I cannot sort the data)
Occasionally, the columns are in a different order when I recieve the data
(therefore I name the columns are 'ranges' [in case it helps])

Hopefully I have explained my problem clearly.

Thank you in advance.
