Hi Candice

Using advanced filter and copying the data to a different range would be
ideal for this.
You could specify the different accounts in your criteria range and then run
the filter.
Base your pivot table on the copied, filtered data and that should work.

Thanks for replying. The only thing about using filters is that I need to
create a pivot table from the data and I would have multiple (like 15)
different accounts to filter by.

MsAccess could be an option but once again, I am creating a pivot table
based on the data.

You could use the AutoFilter command on the Data menu
Or the advanced filter to copy the selected invoices to another range.

Or better still store this information a database, it's this sort of
thing
MS Access was made for.

Hi all..

I have a situation that is a bit unique and interesting. I have a list
of
account numbers that have invoices linked to them. From this vast
list, I
have around 10 -15 different account numbers that I would like the
invoice
numbers (and associated information) pulled from the list and put into
another area (on the same worksheet). The problem is that an account
number
may appear multiple times in the list (have more than 1 invoice) and
when
I
do Vlookup or Vlookups it's only returning the first invoice. I would
like
to have it look in the big list for the account number, and return all
instances associated with that account number.

Here's an example:

A B C D E
F G
1 090WEN111 111012 $20.00 Paper 4/25/05
090PAP112
2 090PAP112 112141 $100.00 Tissue 1/25/05
090TIM412
3 090PAP112 114571 $58.23 Paper 3/1/05
4 090TIM412 142577 $45.21 SANI 5/1/05

so in this example, columns A - E have all the info that comes from a
database report. Column G has a select list of accounts that I need
the
data
for. Instead of me having to go through hundreds of records, I would
like
to
have Excel find these records and place them into a separate area on
the
same
worksheet.

I know that this one is a bit long and drawn out but I really would
appreciate any help someone could offer... Thanks in advance!
