Extract information

Can I extract different categories from a main list on to separate worksheets?

RE: Extract information

Hi Matthew,

Thank you for the forum question.

You can use lookup & reference function to extract the data.

I have found a useful YouTube video, where you can see it done using Vlookup and Index Match functions.

RE: Extract information

Hi
This was useful for unique references however what I would like is to extract all of a certain category in to a separate sheet, for example 'Sales' on to Sheet1 and 'Admin' on to Sheet2.
Is there any way?
Thanks

RE: Extract information

Hi Matthew,

Yes lookup and reference functions need a unique identifier.

If it is something you need to do from time to time you can use the advanced filter and extract the result to another location

If you want an automated process you will need to code Excel.

Excel tip:

Turn Function tooltips on and off

Excel 2002 (XP) and Excel 2003 have the Function tooltips facility. When you type in a function name followed by a bracket, for example, =IF(, a yellow box appears beside the function name and lists the function's arguments. This is very useful when you can't quite remember the order of a function's arguments or what the arguments actually are!

However, Function tooltips can become annoying. To turn them off, choose Tools|Options. and select the General tab. Then, untick the Function tooltips box and choose OK.
