This is an Autofilter job!
Data/Autofilter
Click drop down arrow on column Group
Choose equals 12 in first condition line
Click option button OR
Choose equals 33 in second condition line

Optionally you should first sort your data by column Group.

Stefi

Hi Brian

Try using a Pivot Table.
Mark your range of data (do not have a blank row below your headings).
DataPivot TableNextNextFinish
Drag Group to Row area, drag Name to Row Area drag Name to Data area
Use the drop down on Group to select just the groups of interest.

For more information on Pivot Tables take a look at
http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Pivots/pivotstart.htm
and
http://www.contextures.com/xlPivot02.html

Roger Govier

How many groups do you want to select at a time?

Maybe using data|Filter|advanced filter would work:
http://contextures.com/xladvfilter02.html
(Debra Dalgleish's site)

I sometimes use another column that evaluates to true/false based on some
criteria. Then filter on that:

Maybe something like:
=OR(A2={13,14,15})
