Default How Do I Do an Exclude Filter based on a Named Range?

My apologies...I had a reference issue in the originating cells. I fixed
that, but its still not operating correctly. Some records appear to be
"filtered" properly, but others who's location is definitely closed, are
still coming across into the results and not being filtered. The second
record was filtered, even though its location was not in the ClosedLocations
list, while records 6 and 7 were both not filtered, even though their
locations were the first location listed in the ClosedLocations range.

Confused...but persistent.

Thanks for the steps. I did them to the letter, but received an error on the
second record (I'm assuming second, since it copied the first, then failed).
The error received was:

"The extract range has a missing or illegal field name."

Suggestions?

1. In F1 enter: XLoc
2. In F2 enter:

=ISNA(MATCH(C2,ClosedLocations,0))

3. Select A1:E450.
4. Activate Data|Filter|Advanced Filter.
5. Check the option: Copy to another location.
6. Enter $A$1:$E$450 for List range.
7. Enter $F$1:$F$2 for Criteria range.
8. Enter $F$3 for Copy to.
9. Leave unchecked the option: Unique records only.
Click OK.

Thanks for your help, but I'm not sure I follow it.

I have A$1$:E$:450 filled with records.
I have Col C labeled "Location"
In Col J, I have a 5-record listing named "ClosedLocations" (J1:J5)

I don't know if I understand what you're suggesting I do with the F2:F3 info
nor do I follow the "then run Advanced Filter on the data area".

The Adv Filter is looking for:

List Range: A2:E451 (A1:E1 are row headers)
Criteria Range: ???? Is this where you're suggesting I put the ISNA function?

Still confused....
