Multiple Select
Hi,
I would like to select multiple results within a filter within a spreadsheet with multiple columns. There are three ways that I know of the create a custom filter: I can use the AutoFilter option and use the dropdowns to filter out one item at a time. €“ too few. I also can create a Pivot Table, pull all the columns over, and then use the drop downs to choose multiple results. A lot of work, as I am creating the pivot table just so I can select choose multiple dropdown options. I can create a custom filter, and select at most 2 results using the And/Or command, but no more. Does anyone know if there is there a way to filter out more than 2 options, and not have to go to the trouble to create a pivot table? Thanks, Eric in FL |

Yes, add a helper column with a conditional formula that returns TRUE for
rows that meet both criteria, and filter on this column. -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "prana1" wrote in message ...
