Which Function To Use
 

Hello,

I am running Excel 2003. Im trying to accomplish a lookup.

On sheet 1, in column A, I have values such as: A, B, C, D. These values
repeat themselves. A small example:

a date place
b date place
b date place
a date place
c date place

On my second sheet, we'll call it the "a" sheet, I want this sheet to
basically list only the cells that had "a" in column A from sheet 1. So I
would want to see on this sheet (using above example)

a date place
a date place

I've tried using VLOOKUP, but am getting strange results. I think it's
because the values repeat themelves ..but Im not sure.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Which Function To Use
 

why not use
datafilterautofilterfilter for acopy

thanks..but that's not going to work for me.

I really need a function that can return the results I need on separate
sheets.
