I've been searching this group for a while, and have realised you lot are
indeed guru's, and if anybody can do this, then you can. I don't think it
is possible, but then again some of the things i've read in here i didn't
think were possible in excel!

anyways, i wonder if someone can help me.

I need to be able to pick out specific rows from one worksheet, and paste
them into another worksheet (in the same file if poss).

This is a cut-down version of the table (there are 12 columns and 780 rows)
which a database chucks out every day.

I am the team leader of Rajan, Bea and Lizzie. I need to get only the data
for them, and paste it into another file or worksheet. At the moment i am
sorting the employee column and then scrolling down to find my team members
(there are 700+ rows), selecting their data, and then pasting it into
another sheet.

A serious amount of cyber plutonic love will go out to whoever can solve
this.

Thanks very much if you try

Splint

One way is to use dataautofilterfilter on the namecopy/paste. next name
the same. Record a macro while doing and then clean it up
Another is to use a helper column with a number or other identifing mark for
THAT team and sort on that and copy/paste.
Or a for/next loop.

Create a 13th column ( I assume that the first column is A and your employee
names start in A2, so in the help column you create in row 2 (same row as
the first employee) you put

=OR(A2={"Rajan","Bea","Lizzie"})

so if the help column is M then you put that formula in M2

select M2 again after typing in the formula, then move the mouse cursor to
the lower right corner of M and when it changes from a fat to a thin cross
double click and the formula will be copied down 780 rows

Now select row number one (assuming your headers are in the row above the
row with the first name)
by clicking number one in the row headers. Do datafilterautofilter, now
you will get dropdowns for all headers, in the help column click the
dropdown and select TRUE
That will give you all team names you are the leader of

Then press Ctrl + * (asterisk), press F5, click special and select visible
cells only, copy with Ctrl + C and then go to another sheet and paste them.
Takes 2 minutes at most, then remove datafilter and uncheck autofilter

If the data is always the same you can record a macro while doing this and
just run the macro

Enter the information like this, and use Data-Filter-Advanced Filter.
Choose "Filter the list, in-place". Enter $A$6:$C$16 in "List Range", and
$A$1:$C$4 in "Criteria range". Click Okay. Copy the entire filtered list
and paste in the next sheet. It will not paste the hidden rows. When you
use the larger list you will have to expand the two ranges. Also, there is a
"copy to another location" option, but you can only paste in the current
worksheet. You could make "copy to" point to the bottom of the list and then
cut and paste that to the new sheet.

wow, that worked! Thank You. Why doesn't it give an error when using a
macro? That seems counterintuitive. Both of the following macros worked,
note one is without a name.

Sub Macro1()
Range("A6:C16").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy,
CriteriaRange:=Range( _
"A1:C4"), CopyToRange:=Range("Sheet2!A1"), Unique:=False
End Sub

Sub Macro2()
Range("A6:C16").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy,
CriteriaRange:=Range( _
"A1:C4"), CopyToRange:=Range("Test"), Unique:=False
End Sub
