Help with a Function
I desperately need help with creating a function, macro or anything that you guys can think of to make things easier!! I have a range of cells that list different information that I need to bring together into another table. This has been easy enough, BUT I need the data to skip zero or blank rows and only list information that is greater than a certain number. For example Column A is an ID number Column B is the location Column C is the date Column D is the total tonnes Column E is the number of Days Column F is the Actual rate Column G is the depth What i want the table to reflect is ONLY the rows that have a figure greater than 25 in the Depth or Column G. This i have managed quite well, but I don't want rows that are blank or zero in the new table...any ideas???? A macro would be fine here too.....but i would prefer a function???? -- rhani111 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rhani111's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=19940 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=386046 |

Let A2:G100 house the data of interest, including the header labels.
A1: 25 which is your Depth citerion value. H1: 0 which is mandatory. H2: Idx which is a label. H3, copied down: =IF((A3<"")*(G2$A$1),LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+30 7,$H$1:H2)+1,"") J1: =LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,H1:H00) J2: Pos which is juat a label. J3: =IF(ROW()-ROW($J$3)+1<=$J$1,MATCH(ROW()-ROW($J$3)+1,$H$3:$H$100),"") K3, copied across as far as needed then down: =IF($J3<"",INDEX(A3:A100,$J3),"") rhani111 wrote: I desperately need help with creating a function, macro or anything that you guys can think of to make things easier!!

You could use Autofilter.
Assuming you have labels in row 1 to correspond with the information posted, 1. highlight A1:G1 2. DataFilterAutofilter 3. Click the dropdown in G1 and select Custom 4. Scroll the left pane to select "is greater than" 5. Enter 25 in the right hand pane You will now have a table with visible rows only being those with a value of greater than 25 depth. NB if you want to include 25 in your sample, then either choose "is greater than or equal to" or leave it as "is greter than" but set the value to be 24 -- Regards Roger Govier "rhani111" wrote in message ...

Hi Roger, Although that works absolutely brilliantly, I need it to update itself aumatically everytime data is entered into another sheet. This is being created for use by others who are not familiar with Excel functions.. Any ideas?? -- rhani111 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rhani111's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=19940 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=386046 |

Hi Rhani
Perhaps using Advanced Filter to extract data from one sheet to another with the user having entered their criteria on the lookup sheet would be the answer. Take a look at the many examples regarding Advanced Filter posted by Debra Dalgleish on her site http://www.contextures.com/tiptech.html and I am sure you will find a solution -- Regards Roger Govier "rhani111" wrote in message ...

Doesn't work as intended?
Here an example use of the formula system: http://www.mrexcel.com/board2/viewtopic.php?t=146895 rhani111 wrote: ok.....ummm I am more confused than ever with your reply...I have no idea what all that meant at all...lol can you please explain?? -- [1] The SumProduct function should implicitly coerce the truth values to their Excel numeric equivalents.
