I have a table with multiple records and many columns. Each record has a
status field with values either 1 or 2 (open or closed). I wish to create a
new shorter table in the same worksheet with only the "open" records.

Highlight your headers and go to datafilterautofilter... and filter your
open and close column how you'd like

Create a two cell criteria range, say A1:A2 with the field name for
the open column in A1 and '1' in A2.

Copy the field headings to where you want the shorter table to be.


Use: Data --Filter -- Advanced Filter from the menu, choose the
'Copy to another location' option and select the original table, and
the criteria range in the appropriate boxes, then "OK"

Reading this again, you may want to use advanced filter... rather than
autofilter, as you will be able to filter it to a new location
