Area Lookup from Radial button
Hi
Trying to do a search facility on a page that has data relating to areas e.g Area Name East Mr Smith West Mr Jones East Miss White West Mr Green West Mr Blue What I want to achieve is to select via radial button, the area i.e. West and then for that to display only the names that relate to West and so on. Anybody help? Thanks |

Select all the data; use Data | Filter | Auto Filter
Now the dropdown arrows let you make any selection needed best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "Soapydux" wrote in message ps.com...

How about an alternative that's built into excel.
Select your range data|filter|autofilter Now you can use the dropdown arrow on the Area header cell to choose the area that you want. The other rows will be hidden. And you can see everything by: data|filter|show all And if you apply the filter to all your columns, you'll be able to see all the East areas that Ms. Jones worked on.

Hi
Thanks for those suggestions but I was kinda wanting to avoid a filter and have a clean page with a search facility. Thanks Dave Peterson wrote: How about an alternative that's built into excel.

Maybe you can learn about Data|Filter|Advanced filter and a criteria range.
