Excel Sort Function
Hi,
I am working with a spreadsheet of over 5000 lines at the moment. It is a list of ink cartridges and there corresponding printers. Now we are looking to sort/filter the list based on what cartridges they use. For example: Printer Cart abc 12 abc 13 def 12 def 14 ghi 12 ghi 14 so we then want to know which printers use cart 12 & 13. We do not want it show any that may use the 12 & 14 or any other cobinations, just the two that we have selected. If this is possible, would it also be possible to use the same feature to work on printers that take 54 cartridges etc? Many thanks, Jamie @ Fuzion |

DataAutofilter will do that for you.
Select the column, apply the filter, then click the dropdown and select the Custom options. The rest should be obvious. -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "Fuzion" wrote in message ...

Hi Bob,
I am not sure if I am missing something, but this does not work for me. Ot may be easier if I emailed you the spreadsheet so you can see what I am trying to do. If you dont mind having a quick look, email me at jamie'at'fuzionsystems'dot'co'dot'uk. Cheers J "Bob Phillips" wrote: DataAutofilter will do that for you.
