How do I filter using multiple columns in Excel?
I am doing a database in which I need to filter a certain word in Column E OR
Column F OR column G. It's a DB for a large number of music auditions in which the word "Band" might appear in any of those three columns, and I need to do a filter which shows all data rows that have "Band" in ANY of those three columns. How can I accomplish this? I am using Excel '97. Thanks in advance!! |
