Lookup question
I'm trying to compile a database based on info from
another databse. I would like to take only the rows that contain a certain value in a cell to make the new spreadsheet. (the original spreadsheet may contain several thousand rows, but I only need a few dozen of them for the new spreadsheet). How do I do this? |

Lookup question
Have you tried AutoFilter (via Data -- Filter)?
If you have a header row (ie: column labels -- if not insert one) turn AutoFilter on, then use the dropdown for the column in question to show only the rows with the appropriate value. Then select the range (CTRL+Shift+8) and copy & paste to your new sheet. NB "original spreadsheet may contain several thousand rows" ; if there are 1000 unique entries XL won't show them all. To work round, use the (Custom... ) option. Rgds, Andy |
