RE: filtering

Hi Sarah,

Thank you for your question.

If you click in any cell underneath the main row of headings and go to Data - Filter and then Autofilter.

Each heading will now have a filter button. Click on the filter button for the appropriate field and select the option you want.

E.g. If you have a heading called County, when you click on the filter button it will display the values in the list. Choose the value from the list and it will filter all the records relating to that choice.

I hope that answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Excel tip:

Reconciling a list to correspond with another

May have a list that needs to make but on another sheet one list seems to be out, eg. product list one sheet contains all product and inventory data, while the other contains pricing data. Both need to match with all products but there is more products in one list than the other. To find the disparaging product compare data in the two columns that need to match Make sure that order the same way.
Create another column in the sheet that has the most items and type in the first cell

=Exact(text1,text2) text1 being the cell that you want compared with text2 cell reference. Drag to filldown and your first false will give you for first cells that does not match. Correct insert the row with data in other sheet and continue the process until all the data returns true. Delete the column inserted.
