Default Advanced Filter

I posted earlier because I was trying to get the advanced
filter to work. Now I would like to filter with two or
more criterian. They will all be "Not included, or " I
tried listing them down a column each cell
having "Test1" and "Test2", but the only way items are
excluded is when one criteria is listed. Any ideas?

Thank you,
Kevin

Default Advanced Filter

When you enter the criteria in a column, it's like using an OR operator.
So, your criteria range tells the advanced filter that a row can pass
through the filter if it is not equal to Test1 OR not equal to Test2.
You want the filter to allow rows where the item is not equal to Test1
AND not equal to Test2.

Change your criteria area to have multiple columns, with a heading that
matches the column in the table:

Item Item
Test1 Test2

The advanced filter feature has the ability to filter

with both "or" criteria and "and" criteria

"or" criteria use criteria ranges with two or more rows.
"and" criteria use multiple criteria in the same row.
to have an "and" criteria using the same criteria field
twice you need to extend the criteria range one more
column and repeat the column header you are using. that
way you can put one of the "not" criteria in the first
column and the second "not" criteria in the repeated
column.
