List sort - filter macro based on check box
Hello,
I have a list of activities by department, and I want to show only the top 10 highest savings across user input defined categories. For example, one column has 7 different department names, other columns contain data like activity name, responsibility, start date, etc. I would like to set up a series of check boxes that mgmt could select for the 7 departments, then return the top 10 activities based on a savings column. This would allow them to exclude one or more departments from the project list. Is this the right use of filtering & macros, or is there a better way to achieve the same results? the data must be moved to a separate sheet in the workbook where other summary info is rolled up. I'm using Excel 2003. thanks for your help |

List sort - filter macro based on check box
You could use filtering and Macro's but it would be a lengthy process to
build. Probably a User Form would be the best way to do this, however this is also not a simple process. The following links may be of help: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa192538.aspx http://www.contextures.on.ca/excelfiles.html#DV0017 I also had a similar exercise which I posted to this forum on the 23rd Titled "Multiple Selection Combo Box" Dave Peterson posted a very helpful response with some very effective VB Code. Hope this helps "brumanchu" wrote: Hello, I have a list of activities by department, and I want to show only the top 10 highest savings across user input defined categories.
