Why does this filter not work properly
The filter stops working when products begin with 1. In otherwords it only works for products that begin with a zero.

Looks like your Match formula is working; there just aren't many items in the match list which begin with 1. See row 578, it produces a match against 15091010 ---GJC -- gjcase ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gjcase's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=26061 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=527574 |

It's not about matching products that begin with 1. All of the products in the "exceptions" list beginning with a 0 match all th ones beginning with another number e.g 84 etc do not match. Hopefully this shosw my problem. chris -- cj21 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cj21's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=25673 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=527574 |

ignore last post- bad grammar. It's not about matching products that begin with 1.

Hopefully this shows my problem. chris -- cj21 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cj21's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=25673 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=527574 |

It appears you are caught in the text-vs-number mismatch dillemma (i.e., text < numbers.) To illustrate, go to cell I678 & add an apostrophe in front of the number, making it text. H3124 will then return 677. Ensure your data are all either numbers or text. Suggest you put ="'"&I2 in J2 & copy down, then copy & Paste Special/values over the data in I2 down. Note "'" is double quote-singlequote-double quote. This will ensure all data in the match list is text. If necessary, you can do the same with the data you are matching on as well. ---GJC -- gjcase ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gjcase's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=26061 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=527574 |
