Default Filter in Rows not columns

I would like to be able to apply a filter (an autofilter) down a column, so
that I can filter certain columns. Rather than use the convenstional method
of the filters across the columns. I realise that I could transpose the table
data first and then apply to conventional filters, but I wish to keep the
data orientated as it is.

Going by your subject line, guess you're asking:
.. Is there anyway to filter horizontally in Excel, rather than vertically?


If so, you could try Andrew Engwirda's page at:

There's a d/l link for a sample file on the page
(Horizontal Filter)
