RE: Xcel

Hi Rhian

Thank you for your question

If you select a cell anywhere in the table to be filtered and click on data-filter-autofilter, each column head will manifest a drop down list which you can use to filter on specific items

Each column also has a custom item in its list that allows to to specify ranges of data and also to use such operators as greater than, less than, not equal to etc.

Hope this helps

Regards

Stephen

Excel tip:

Reconciling a list to correspond with another

May have a list that needs to make but on another sheet one list seems to be out, eg. product list one sheet contains all product and inventory data, while the other contains pricing data. Both need to match with all products but there is more products in one list than the other. To find the disparaging product compare data in the two columns that need to match Make sure that order the same way.
Create another column in the sheet that has the most items and type in the first cell

=Exact(text1,text2) text1 being the cell that you want compared with text2 cell reference. Drag to filldown and your first false will give you for first cells that does not match. Correct insert the row with data in other sheet and continue the process until all the data returns true. Delete the column inserted.
