G'day,

I have been told that you can filter multiple columns. For example, if in
column A I have facilities listed, and in column B days are listed, you can
filter seprately. Meaning that I should not have to list each facility for
each day when I filter. I would like to have up to 15 different filters in
the same worksheet if possible.

My questions is, "How do you do this...?"

Thanks

Just highlight the top row of the data and go to DataFilterAutofilter and
then filter each column you need using the drop down arrows at the top

Nick,

Maybe it is the version I am using, Excel 202 SP3, but I can only filter all
columns or none. It does not allow me to filter each column individually.
Any suggestions?

You get one range to filter per worksheet.

But that range can have multiple columns.

Turn of the autofilter (to start fresh)

Select your range to filter--(say A1:X9999)

Then apply data|Filter|autofilter.

You'll see dropdown arrows in the top row of that selected area of each cell.

Dave,

Thanks for the input. I guess this can't be done the way I was hoping. I
was hoping to be able to filter multiple times in the same worksheet in
different columns.

If/when you upgrade to xl2003, you might be able to use Data|List to give the
effect that you want.
