capturing all of the data
I have a list of people with test resullts. I need to identify the
infividuals who are positive, and list all of their results, e.g. in the following example, I would want all of the results of john smith and mary kay because they have one or more positive results, but not any of the results of jim jones or susan rae, because all of their results are negative. This is easy enough when there is a limited number of individuals, but when it is in the 10s of thousands, it's impossible for me to capture anything more thatn the positive from a single date. But I need all of the results of any individual with one or more positives. Any suggestions? john smith 3/4/2008 negative john smith 4/4/2008 positive john smith 5/4/2008 negative john smith 6/4/2008 negative john smith 7/4/2008 negative jim jones 3/4/2008 negative jim jones 4/4/2008 negative jim jones 5/4/2008 negative jim jones 6/4/2008 negative jim jones 7/4/2008 negative mary kay 3/4/2008 negative mary kay 4/4/2008 negative mary kay 5/4/2008 negative mary kay 6/4/2008 positive mary kay 7/4/2008 negative mary kay 8/4/2008 negative susan rae 5/4/2008 negative susan rae 6/4/2008 negative susan rae 7/4/2008 negative susan rae 8/4/2008 negative |

Use autofilter and filter on positive. You can copy the results and paste
into a new sheet if you want. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "jimbo" wrote in message ... I have a list of people with test resullts.

I read it as OP wants all records for a patient including negative records if a patient has at least one positive record. Probably have to filter a couple times.

G'day Jimbo
Expanding on Biff's response, you can automate the process by using the code at the link below. http://www.rondebruin.nl/copy2.htm It will filter, then copy your filtered ranged based on your criteria and paste to a new worksheet for you. attach the code to a Macro Button on your WS. HTH Mark. |

I think a helper column would help you here. If I understand, you want to
exclude anyone who only has negative results, e.g., count of positive results=0. If this is the case, add a column and use the following formula: I'll assume your first john smith appears in cell A2 and extends to row 10000. =sumproduct(--($A$2:$A$10000=A2),--($C$2:$C$10000="positive"))=0 This would give you a column of TRUEs and FALSEs. You simple filter out the TRUEs -- Tips for Excel, Word, PowerPoint and Other Applications http://www.kan.org/tips "jimbo" wrote: I have a list of people with test resullts.

Try this...
Add a helper column with this formula: =IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(A$2:A$2000=A2),--(C$2:C$2000="positive")),"x","") Copy down to the end of data. Then filter on this helper column on "x". -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "jimbo" wrote in message ... On Jul 26, 7:22 pm, "T. Valko" wrote: Use autofilter and filter on positive.
