I am trying to exclude a list of names from a database.
I can get the exclude filter to work if a type the text by hand eg.
*Jack Jones*
However if a copy a cell with the text value *Jack Jones* (created using concatenate and &)
Advanced filter ignores the criteria and fails to exclude and values equal to my criteria.
Why won't this work?
I am using Advance Filter > Copy to another location
In the Criteria range I list
Header
*Jack Jones*
*Bernie Madoff*
*Mrs Smith*
Help appreciated.
Hi,
I have an Excel sheet with a few thousand rows which I would like to filter by a column with the name TrackingID.
This column contains values like:
12AA1
23452BA2
234AA1
345635CA2
...
I would like to filter this column by the third character from the end (which is always a letter from the range [A-Z])
In the example above, this would be:
A
B
A
C
I need a macro, function... that allows me to filter out all rows that contain a specific letter in the third-last position.
For example, if I provide "A" as input value for this filter function, I would get back the following rows from the example above:
12AA1 other column value other column value
234AA1 other column value other column value
...
I know some VB6, but I never developed in Excel. So, if anyone could give me some hints, tips, starting points... I would be very grateful.
Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

Hi all,
I am working on a spreadsheet that has multiple sets of data that are sorted using a macro based on teh auto filter. After i protect the sheet and disable the autofilter function (as i do not wnat people able to access any information other than what i have sorted for) i have found that if you use the advanced filter you can unsort the entire sheet whether it is protected or not.
does anyone know a way to disable the advanced filter whether by an option or some sort of VBA script?
Appreciate the help
SUBTOTALS function not refreshing when using advanced filter (XL 2000 and XL 2003, versions, yes xl 2007)
Is there a solution for this problem?
Is it possible to do the following:
I have a worksheet with 6000 rows (W1), and another with 2500 rows (W2).
I need to check whether the values of W2 are found in the second column of W1. As in if(iserror(search(valuex,worksheet2!B2)),"",A2) ---> resulting in something like:
If the value is found in the cell B2 of column B on W1, then return its reference which you find in A2, otherwise leave a blank.
I need to check all 2500 values in all 6000 rows.
I know for sure that I will have limited hits (max of 200) so I would like to create a list on W2 (the values) where I check if they are found in W1 and return only the 'hits'. I would like to filter out the blanks.
YOu can filter the blanks, I know, but you need to have a 'full' version (I thought) with all the blanks and the hits and then and only then you can filter.
But is there a way how I can use the advanced filter, with a criteria range using a function. Something like: criteria range --> if(iserror(search(valuex,worksheet2!B2)),"",A2) is not equal to "".
Or should I use a list functionality?
Hello:
I would appreciate any help I can get at this point. I believe that what I need to do is a nested =If Function in order to do what I want but I have never done that. I am also sure there are other ways to accomplish my goal but Ill let you be the experts.
Simplified:
I am trying to return a list that has unsorted rows (this list is being compiled by use of a formula)
3 1 1 2
2 1 1 3
0 0 0 0
1 1 1 1
3 1 1 2
2 1 1 3
0 0 0 0
In a new sheet I would like to return all rows that do not contain 0 in the first column.
I would like this to be done through the use of a formula since sorting by the first row would unsort the other columns (may not make sense with my example but take my word for it.) So far I have
=IF(Sheet1!C15>0,Sheet1!C15,Keyword1!C16)
The Problem is each time this file is used the
3 1 1 2
2 1 1 3
0 0 0 0
Will be different each time with different amount of rows containing 0 0 0 0.
This may make no sense at all and if it does not... sorry but short of attaching the 20mb file Im lost for ideas.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks,

I have a spreadsheet which I perform an advanced filter, but the problem I have is that when I get the results of the advanced filter I wish To filter further.
This causes the advanced filter to be removed. Is there some way of filtering the results of an advanced filter.
Thanks for you help

I am currently running Excel 2003 in Windows XP. This is my question. I have a database of products I'm storing on a sheet named Database, which the user never sees. On another sheet call Input, I have four drop-down boxes which allows the user to:
Step 1. Select products filtered by one of four choices. I have done this simply using a Data Validation List.
Step 2. The second drop-down contains another Data Validation List which uses a series of nested IF statements to filter the choices available in the list based on what was chosen in Step One.
Now is when it gets complicated
Step 3. The third drop down should only display those products which are valid choices based on steps 1 and 2. There are too many choices to use nested if statements. I can successfully filter the information I need using an Advanced Filter, but I don't know how activate it. I want it to filter the list of choices in the third drop-down as soon as a choice has been selected from the second drop-down.
Step 4. Needs to do the same thing as Step three, but now filtered based on all three previous choices.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
I'm using Excel 2003 and I've been trying to use the advanced filter for a table (big one), but it does not seem to work.. (I've got rows A to BO).
I tested and apparently filter will work until I'm at X (works from A to W)...
Is there a way around that limit? I really need to use the filter for my full table...
Thanks in advance!
