What is Auto filtering?

RE: Excel filters

Hello Donna

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

Auto filtering is the feature which shows dropdown arrows at the top of columns of data (if you have seen this on spreadsheets before).

This allows you to get Excel to display only rows which contain the criteria you are looking for.

For example if you have a column headed Region, and there are 4 regions (let's say North, South, East and West) you can use the Auto Filter to show you just rows of data that relate to the North region.

Filters can be removed once they have been applied, so that you can show the data for all 4 regions again once the data has been filtered.

I hope this helps.
Amanda

Excel tip:

Page Break Preview in Excel 2010 (Hint/tip)

If you select View then Workbook Views then Page Break Preview, you will be able to view how your Excel spreadsheet will be split across multiple pages when printed. Even better, you can also drag a page break to a new place. Excel will then scale down your entire worksheet to fit the information you want on the pages you want.
