To paraphrase, you want to be able to enter a word, and only see those rows
that contain that word in the like/dislike column (respectively)? Select the row that contains your headers. Go to Data - Filter -AutoFilter. You should now see several little arrows(drop downs). In your like column, open the drop down, choose custom. Make sure first box is on "contains" and in the second box, type the word you want to find. -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "bobbydog" wrote: hi to everyone, have only just joined, so please treat me as an idiot in terms of your writings to me my first question is i want to make a name and address list in excel 2007 and for each column i want name first name introd by like dislike address now what i want to do is to be able to interlink all the columns so that by the typing of word like theatre or gardens i can isolate the others and only to bring up those that like that subject please remember IDIOT language for me please :laugh:laugh:laugh:laugh -- bobbydog ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bobbydog's Profile: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/member.php?userid=175 View this thread: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/sh...ad.php?t=75751 |

Across row 1 enter your column titles like Name First Name Address Introd
By Like Dislike That would be in cells A1 through F1 Now add your data for each person in the cells below these titles. Then DataFilterAutofilter. Select a column and filter for what you want to see.

Thanks bobbydog. I'm on here fairly often and will usually lend a helping
hand/thought if I can, and if not, there's plenty of other knowledgeable people on here too who can probably help out. -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "bobbydog" wrote: luke m you are a star to the power of 10 if i need ought else can i call upon you many many cheers and have a beer :):):):) --- Automerged consecutive post before response --- goes for you too gord dibben 5* -- bobbydog ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bobbydog's Profile: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/member.php?userid=175 View this thread: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/sh...ad.php?t=75751 |

In one cell?
You could try Formatting to Wrap Text and Autofit Row Or whenever you want a linefeed in a cell hit Alt + Enter Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:33:51 +0000, bobbydog wrote: hi luke next prob for an excel newbie (total) if in the left hand column A1 i start to write an address, it continues in a long horizontal line and if at any time i want to start a new line then it goes into A2 what i want to do is to put in a full address as it would appear on an envelope HOW |
