Build a search tool in excel
Is there any way I can build a search tool in excel so that I can retrieve data from another sheet. i.e. the search tool is built in sheet1 and it can filter and retrieve data from sheet2. Also is there a way of setting excel so that regardless of what sheet I may save the document it ALWAYS opens on sheet1. Please advice. -- Obi-Wan Kenobi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Obi-Wan Kenobi's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=32578 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=523792 |

Build a search tool in excel
You can do this with Advanced Filters and programming. There are some
sample workbooks he http://www.contextures.com/excelfiles.html Under Filters, look for 'Product List by Category' and 'Filter Rows for Text String' Obi-Wan Kenobi wrote: Is there any way I can build a search tool in excel so that I can retrieve data from another sheet. i.e. the search tool is built in sheet1 and it can filter and retrieve data from sheet2.
