Default Creating a new table from another - filtering out unwanted dat

I don't think that solves the problem of moving this data from sheet1 to
sheet2, while automatically filtering it.

How about Advanced Filter, will it work for you?

Thank you for your quick response.

However, I may have over simplified my example. I actually have several
columns that need to be transferred over. I'm not looking to summarize the
data (eg. sum of the number of pieces), just report a filtered list.

Pivot table works for my simple example, but not the real life more
complicated table that I'm actually dealing with. Is there another way?

Hi
The best and most flexible way is to create a pivot table.
Data/Pivot table report/next/highlight your range - the best way is to
highlight all columns/next/layout/drag "Product" to row and No. of Pieces to
data (make sure that it shows you sum)/OK/finish

Please click "yes" if this post helped you!

Greatly appreciated

Here is my table for sheet1:

Shipment No. Product No. of Pieces
A pencil 1
B pen 1
A eraser 1
A paper clip 2
B stamp 3
C ruler 1
B calculator 2

I am trying to create a new table in a new sheet (sheet2) that will list all
the products and pieces that were part of shipment no. A

This is what I would like it to look like

Product No. of Pieces
pencil 1
eraser 1
paper clip 2

How do I go about doing this? Please help!
