Filter While Leaving Original Data Intact in Excel How to filter in Excel by copying the filtered data to a new location without doing anything This is a great mac. Similar Topics. In Excel How Can I Filter Multiple Columns Simultaneously? The basic custom filter looks like it only lets me filter for 2 words. In the Application menu, click the Office for Mac app (Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft OneNote, Microsoft Outlook) you want to create keyboard a shortcut for. Enter a Menu Title and the Keyboard Shortcut and click Add.
I feel like this should be really easy and I am just out of it today but I cannot figure this out. I want to lock a row and filter (with filter,not sort, tool) the other rows. I attached an example The row in RED I want to never be changed or added in the filter, but I want row 2 and 1 to filter together. So I want (in this case) the flavor to filter with the same number. SO i guess the filter process would be dependent upon the total number of votes.
I had to create the information in tables and went from there. I have a question regarding filtering of columns, hopefully someone is able to put me on the right track.
I have set up Excel 2007 so that I can click on the drop-down menu in each column to filter them. However, in my data set there is one blank row separating two set of rows. Now, when I apply the filter on a column, all the rows above the blank row filter correctly, but all the rows below stay un-filtered. I guess Excel only looks at the consequtive rows, then stops when it hits a blank row. Is there any way of applying the filter beyond a blank row (i.e. The whole column)? Any advice is higly appreciated.
Is it possible to apply a filter to multiple sheets within the same Excel workbook, using the same filter criteria? For example, suppose you have tables of data on 3 different tabs, all having the same headings. Suppose one of the headings is 'gender'. If you apply a filter to the table on Sheet 1, to only show the rows containing the word 'female', is it possible to have the tables on Sheets 2 and 3 automatically update to only show the 'female' rows? Or would you have to manually update the filter criteria in Sheets 2 and 3? I hope this makes sense.
Thank you in advance for any help. Hi, I made a budget with many narrow columns and have turned the data into a table. I will only ever filter the data with the left-hand most column. However, all the other columns are filled each with the grey drop-down filter arrow button, and I can no longer see the headings of these columns and frankly seeing 50 little unused arrow buttons is rather ugly. Is there any way to simply remove the filter drop-down buttons on some columns or even all of them, just leaving a filter button at the heading of the first column? I know I can hide the headings, but then I lose sight of the first filter arrow that I use.
Sorry to ask such a bizarre question, but I appreciate your help. I am looking for the code to select the visible data after applying a data filter. Actually I know how to select the data after applying the data filter but the issue is I am not able to exclude the header row and give the target range as used (non-blank) rows only!! I am using below code to Select the Visible rows in the target range: Code: Range('A:p').SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Select Problems in this code a 1) after applying the filter, while selecting the data it is selecting all the rows in given range till last row on the workbook. I need this to select the the data only till the last used row in the given range. 2) It is not possible to provide the address of the first row after we apply the filter since the first row address may change depending on the values in the table.
1st time when I am running the macro the first row in the visible filtered data is starting at Cell address A4 and next time when I will run the macro it may be A6 3) The Code is also selecting the 1st row which is a header row. How can we exclude it from selection. Some one please revert with the solution. Thanks in advance.
I'm using Excel 2007 and often use filters to find inconsistent data (mis-spellings, etc.) and then clean up the data using the fill handle to fill in correctly formatted values. I'm finding that, with a simple filter on, dragging over cells hidden by the filter changes the values in the hidden cells too. This is something I don't remember from my last version of Excel. I'm wondering if I've mis-remembered how this control works, or if there is a setting I can't find. My goal is to drag and fill (or paste) in a colum with a range of rows wiht some hidden (filtered out) rows, and have the filtered out data be unaffected, if that makes sense. Hi everyone, I found an excellent macro this morning that allows the user to filter a pivot table based on the value found in a specific cell.
This cell essentially acts as a search bar, allowing the user to type in what they are looking for rather than select it from a drop-down list. The macro works perfectly for my purposes except in one regard: I can no longer perform a 'show all' filter. If I leave the 'search bar' cell blank, the pivot table shows nothing. I'm sure that there is an easy fix for this but I'm still learning the basics of how to write and use macros.
How can I change the code so that when I leave the cell blank, the pivot table shows all? The search bar cell is D2. Thanks for your time! Hi all - Im very familiar with how to write a macro to automatically autofilter a list based upon a Cell Value (i.e. Range =(A1).etc.).
But what I cannot figure out how to correctly write is a way to have Excel automatically autofilter a list for any row that CONTAINS the Cell Value, instead of just the exact value. Cell Value = 'birds' Example - I need to filter every row so that I see every row that CONTAINS 'birds' in the character-string, not just the row that = 'birds'. A) is this possible?
If not, I'd like to know also so I can stop attempting to guess (-; Thanks!!! I have searched and read all the help files.
I find the properties of an object, I see how I can 'lock', 'size and move with cells' or 'not move with cells'. No matter what I select, the object moves off the screen, when the user, scrolls to the right of the spreadsheet.
Is there a way to lock the position, let's say, in the upper right corner and have it stay there? This would be quite useful for an EXIT button, that I have created, that will close the program without saving (it's a read-only file.) Thanks to all the wonderful people here that have been so helpful and give us their valuable insight and time. Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and have been using excel for about 3 years. I have learned alot but still can not figure out how to make numbers add up in one box like a running total. Meaning, If I have a list and in the list is one cell for each item say like cell a1 is for a can of coke and cell a2 is for a car tire and so on,and i want to keep a running total by adding a number to cell a1 or a2 like say '3 i.e. 3 tires or cans of coke' and later that day i come back and need to add 2 more.so i want to be able to just click on the cell a1 or a2 and enter the number 2 and the cell would add the number in it to the number im adding to it to show a result of 5 tires or whatever. I am sorry If i am not asking the question in an understandable manor but its the best way I can think to ask it.lol anyways, any help would be appreciated, Thanks in advance.
I would like to copy a small table from Word into one cell in an Excel worksheet. The first column of the table is a list of numbers. I tried converting the table into text with manual line breaks and tab stops to divide columns and rows, but that didn't solve my problem. Excel pastes the data into several rows. When I try to merge them, I get a warning that the selection contains multiple data values, and merging into one cell keeps the upper-left most data only.
What I tried that didn't work:. Formatting the Excel cells as text before pasting the data.
The various options for 'Paste Special.' The closest I got was inserting the table as a Document Object, which could be a workaround, I guess. What I am saving for when all else fails:.
The obvious solution of copying row by row into one Excel cell. The data in the table is information about my dad's medications. I would like to have reference charts of how to identify the strength of each tablet by its color and markings. I got the info from the manufacturers' websites and entered it into tables in Word, which I would like to copy into a more comprehensive file I am creating in Excel. The first column of each table is the strength of the tablet, entered as 1 mg., 2 mg., etc. The subsequent columns describe the shape, color, and markings. There are 3 tables, each with about 4-5 rows.
Is there a way to copy each one - whether as a table or as text - into a single Excel cell without losing data?
