Default Data Validation

Is it possible to have a data validation list so that when you select an
entry from the list it custom filters your main spreadsheet to only see
certain data.
The spreadsheet I use is extremely large and is time consuming to keep
custom filtering the data. It would be easier to select from a validation
list and have some code that filters it...

Default Data Validation

I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but maybe one of the sample files
here will help you get started:

Under Filters, look for 'Product List by Category', or 'Product List by
Week Number'
