It does that you're right but what I want it to do is as follows (sorry i'm
not so good with the words!)

Column A contains names of students, The other column headers are exams, the
data in the table are the dates that the students passed particular exams,
what i want to do is select an exam e.g. exam 1 and produce on a different
sheet the names of the students that have taken that exam and the respective
dates from that column...do you see?

Also I want to be able to select a students name and produce on a different
sheet the names of the exams that they have passed and the dates. but I
don't want to show the column headers (e.g. exam names for the exams not yet
passed)

Is that clearer, i'm sorry I'm rubbish at explaining but i'm learning a lot :)

thank you

Isn't that just what it does, copy column A, without the blanks?

Sorry I just got the answer to that last bit and the good news is it
works...yay:), the only thing is though it only specifies the column
headers
and row names it doesn't filter the data in those columns/rows by
non-blank
values and remove the unnecessary ones.

I'm not very good at explaining things sorry, so for examples sake if a
user
clicks on a row name I want to copy to a seperate sheet all the non-blank
columns and values for that row, and likewise for selecting a column i
want
to filter that column by all the non-blank values and copy those values
with
the row names (so that the data is meaningful) to a seperate sheet.

Does this make any sense, i'm sorry to take up your time.

Yours gratefully

typo.......

Worksheets("Sheet1")Column(1).Copy .Range("A1")
should be
Worksheets("Sheet1").Column(1).Copy.Range("A1")
