Selection/Filtering Question
I have a worksheet where the data is laid out as in Worksheet 1,
below--I have data values (SomeValue) for county locations that changes every hour. I want to populate a second worksheet that has the data selected by specific date and hour, and matching it to the its location. This would typically be a trivial matter by filtering on the specific columns, but the purpose of the second worksheet is to populate a powerpoint presentation with this data--I would create a powerpoint for 1/15/08, Hour 2, save it off, create another powerpoint presentation for 1/15/08, Hour 7, save it off, etc etc. Examining this issue, vlookup is similar to what I am looking for-- select cell a4 based on a match with cell a2, but I am looking to match SomeValue based on cells a2, b2, and c2. I just need to filter my data--can I send it to a second worksheet? If I can filter the data in place, and then use that data in the powerpoint presentation, that would solve my issue, but the cell where the location is would be different for each day and hour filtered on. Worksheet 1 County Loc. Date Hour SomeValue Location 1 1/15/08 2 xxx Location 2 1/15/08 2 yyy Location 1 2/18/08 2 aaa Location 2 2/18/08 2 bbb Location 1 1/15/08 7 ccc Location 2 1/15/08 7 ddd Location 1 2/18/08 7 eee Location 2 2/18/08 7 fff Worksheet 2 County Loc. Date Hour SomeValue Location 1 Location 2 If I need to clarify myself, please let me know, and thanks in advance for your help! C |

Selection/Filtering Question
I've got 2 options, either of which might be sutible
1) use Vlookup, using a cell to store the vlue you wish to match by; 2) Use a pivot table, setting hours as a page field as well as a data field "Clyde" wrote: I have a worksheet where the data is laid out as in Worksheet 1, below--I have data values (SomeValue) for county locations that changes every hour.
