Custom sorting
Hello - synopsis - worksheet with 5225 rows and 13 columns - contains dept
numbers and detailed monthly expenses for each dept. I only need info for 20 depts which equals about 500 rows. I've been sorting by Dept number then deleting the depts I do not need ; then creating a pivot table . Problem . Since my dept nos are not in numberical order so I still have to go thru the list to delete the ones I do use. Is there a way to extract the department nos I do use instead or deleting the ones I do not use or another faster way to do complete this task. Thanks |

Custom sorting
I'd add another column to the raw data.
Put in a formula that evaluates to something nice: =if(or(a2={"dept1","dept2","dept20"}),"keep it","hide it") Then I could make this field a page field and show/hide what I wanted. In fact, I'd put that list in another worksheet and use a formula like: =if(isnumber(match(a2,sheet2!a:a,0)),"keep it", "hide it") It might make adding/deleting the departments easier.
