I have a worksheet with about 500 rows, each has a "text" column with an
value in. I have another worksheet with about 50 rows, each has a "text" column in with a value. How can I set the filter on the first worksheet to look up and only display rowes based on the values in the 2nd worksheet? Am I able to be this? Thanks |

sounds like you need a VLOOKUP.
=VLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, range_lookup) Example: In Worksheet 1, Cell A1 contains the name John. and you need to return the address of John that is stored in Worksheet 2 (column 1 contains the name, and column 2 contains the address) ~Lookup_Value John (A1) ~Table_Array (Worksheet 2, columns 1 and 2 [highlight the entire column for both]) ~Col_index_num (2, because this is the physical location of the return value from the array. If the name was in column 1 and the address was in column 3, you would highlight all three columns, and set this number to 3) ~Range_lookup (False, generally because you want an exact match, otherwise it will return the closest thing) Remember to only perform a search for one cell at a time, you can't generate the formula with a range as the lookup_value "Dave Eade" wrote: I have a worksheet with about 500 rows, each has a "text" column with an value in.
