Excel - how do I use drop down list to filter data
How can I use pull down lists to filter data. For instance I have a
spreadsheet of 100 different cars of various makes/models. I want to use the first pull down menu to filter out all of the Chevrolets. The next pull down will show the results of the first pull down. where I can select one. Is this possible? |

Assume the car make descriptions are housed in col B, label in B1, data from row2 down Select the entire table, then Click Data Filter Autofilter Select "Custom" from the autofilter dropdown list in B1 Under "Show rows where", Select "contains", then type in the box next to it: Chevrolet Click OK -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |
