How do I edit record returned by the filter function?

0

At my work we use Excel to track our inventory for our stock metal sheets.  The only thing about a record that changes is the quantity when we add/remove sheets.  I am trying to limit searching through long tables by making a simple filter that will only show me the sheets based on criteria I provide using the filter function.

What I want to know is if there is any way that I can expose the records true location from the filtered result so I can edit the actual record quantity without having to manually go into the table and find it.

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

If you apply an autofilter to a range (let's say to show rows with "Hot rolled steel" in column B), you'll get several rows for that perhaps. You can just go to the column containing the quantity you want to change and edit it in the filtered view.

Thanks.  I realize now it is easier to record macros for the autofilter and assign them to buttons to do what i want.

Thanks for selecting my Answer. Remember that recording a macro is okay (and a good starting point) but it doesn't alway produce fast/flexible/tranferable code.
