How to create lists of data quickly from a pre-existing database
Hope someone can help - I'm very new to excel. I'm trying to set up an idiot-proof file in which people can log attendance data for their employees. I've got a database which has loads of info on people - age, sex, section they work in etc - ideally I want someone to be able to type in 'male', and have excel go and interrogate the database (currently on a separate worksheet) and create a list of all the male employees. Is this possible?

Take a look at Filtering - probably the easiest option if you're new to Excel

How to create lists of data quickly from a pre-existing database
Hi,
you can also use PIVOT TABLE, to get in seperate sheet. Try it out. -Sivassou. "TAL27" wrote: Hope someone can help - I'm very new to excel.

How to create lists of data quickly from a pre-existing database
I don't want to just find/filter the data, I want to find particular data in a cell, then copy across data from a cell adjacent to it, for example if someone has 'Male' written in the gender column, I'd want their name copied from the adjacent 'Name' column to a new list of all men. -- TAL27 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TAL27's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30145 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=498295 |
