Default If Statement help (I think)

What statement would I use if I want to search a exce data base and find all
rows that have "X" in one colum. I want to take those rows that contain "X"
and copy the entire row into another excel document. Any ideas?

Hi Todd

This depends on Why and How Often. But I'd go menu Data Filter
Atrofilter, then choose X in the column dropdown that appear in the column
header cell. from there copy-paste, subtotal or whatever I want done.

Another approach is to create a Pivot Table with the column in question as a
page field.

HTH. Best wishes Harald

One way
Use DataFilterAutofilter
Select the drop down on the column containing your "X's" and select X
Select the filtered set of rows and Copy to your other sheet.

But I want this database to be an ongoing one where I won't have to cut and
paste somethign every time I change the main database. So in theory I would
like to add rows of data to the database, and if one specific colum shows up
with "X" it will automatically copy it to the "X" file which is a seperate
file. The reason is I want a seperate file to see every row, and all of it
for the rows that contain "X" in that one column.
