Searching for specific values - filter doesn't work
Hi, I asked this question a few days ago but I didn't really get any reply I
could use, so in the hope someone understands my question, here goes: I have a spreadsheet in to which users type measurements, each row being related to one asset. However, throughout the length of the asset several measurements are taken. What I would like to do, is for each asset, look through the measurements entered for that asset, some 8 columns which are incidentally not consecutively laid out, and tell me the following three conditions: 1. any occurence of values between 1439 and 1449 2. any occurence of values greater than, or equal to, 1450 3. any occurence outside these values Conditional formatting would be my starting point but if an asset passes on the first column, how do I get Excel to check the remaining values entered for that asset? Thank you for your patience, help and understaning in advance. Phil |

You should responded back to your post and tell why the formulas provided doesn't work for you. Nevertheless, try these, place these into 3 different cells 1) 1st condition : =IF(AND(A2=1439,A2<=1449),A2,"outside this range") 2) 2nd condition : = IF(A2=1450,A2,"this is <1450") Having the above two formula, you actually don't need another formula for your 3rd condition, but you need, try 3) 3rd condition : =IF(AND(A2=1439,A2<=1449,A21450),A2,"check values") Is this what you want? if not, post back with a sample of data table and your expected result...all shown in the post for us to understand your requirements.

Franci,
Thank you for your reply. My apologies for not replying to the other thread also. I have tried your formula but Excel will not allow me to enter it as written in your reply but returns an error message. I have written it in to the cell exactly as it appears in your reply but I changed the ref A2 to X2 as that is the first column with measurements in it. Columns X to AJ are the columns I need to check for the values given, however, not all the columns within that range need to be checked. How do I post a sample of the spreadsheet? Many thanks for your help. Phil "xlmate" wrote: You should responded back to your post and tell why the formulas provided doesn't work for you.

Sincere apologies for posting this question 3 times - my PC kept saying that
there was an error and that the thread hadn't posted - plainly that was not the case. Apologies also Francis for dropping the 's' from your name - entirely unintentional. How do I delete the spurious threads please? "PhillyD" wrote: Franci, Thank you for your reply. My apologies for not replying to the other thread also.

You can't delete the threads.
One drawback with this multi-posting is that you now have replies at your other threads, which you have to remember to check on. A contributor will not necessarily read them in the order you post, and so you will get multiple replies, some of which may be similar.

Thank you Pete.
I'm not sure why the system was telling me that my thread hadn't posted due to an error then I find it has actually posted them. Apologies again for inadvertently cluttering up the board.

Yes, but you still haven't answered my questions on your other thread.
If you do so then I can tell you what to do specifically for your data. Pete On Feb 9, 1:40*pm, PhillyD wrote: Thank you Pete.
