deleting vs. filtering . . . HELP!
In a nutshell . . . A TEXT FILE IS IMPORTED . . .
In column C (example) there will either be text, a numeric value, or a "zero" (0). I need to set up a filter so that only rows with a numeric values 0 show. (No rows with text or a zero in C will show) I tried to set up a helper column that (example) would have a "yes" in column D if the cell (C1) had a plus value, and "no" if it had text or a zero. I used . . . =IF(C1<=0,"no","yes") Works OK to eliminate cells with a zero or negative number. There's a "no" in the next column. I figuresd I'd get a "yes" in the columns with only text. BUT NO! If there's text in the column, other than the number 0, it counts as a numeric value. So I get a "yes" in any row with text or a value greater than zero. 0 enters a no (good!) a negative number enters a no (Yazza!) a positive number enters a yes (poifec!) any text enters a yes (NO!) Hmmm. Comments welcome. :) |

Try
=IF(AND(T(C4)<C4,C40),"yes","no") the two conditions check that the cell has a value that is greater than zero, and that the cell contents aren't text.... the T() function returns the value of the cell only if the contents are text. Cheers, Glen |

OK, that worked great! Buit now I have another issue on the same sheet.
There are rows I don't want to show, even if they contain a positive value in Column C. The request wasn't made clear to me. Now I need to redo this a little. The good news is, the data always comes in, in the same format. So the data in the rows I want to filter out is always the same. Your formula ( =IF(A22="Y",C22*(-1)) ) worked fine. When I run it, I end up with 6 rows of data. All the other "stuff" is gone. :) Here's what I have, and what I need . . . Now (after filter ran) A B C TE | |0.055 LE | |0.094 X | |.559 Y | |0.749 Z | |0.987 L | |0.296 What I need to do is show only this . . . (No X, Y opr Z) A B C TE | |0.055 LE | |0.094 L | |0.296 Hmmmmmm :) "Wayne Knazek" wrote: In a nutshell . . . A TEXT FILE IS IMPORTED . . .

Neither Glen nor me gave you that suggestion. Perhaps you mixed it up with another post/thread of yours. Anyway, whatever it is I would suggest that you put in your new query as a new post. Since one of our suggestions worked for your orig. post here, let's close this thread and move on .. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |

Thanks for replying
... was . . IF(AND(T(C1)<C1,C10),"yes","no") ... will leave it to Glen to follow through further with you Btw, just curious why my suggestion didn't work (it was lightly tested ok here). Which values in col C over at your end failed to return the desired outcome when you tried it? Could you paste some of these in reply here? Thanks. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |
