I Have no idea on how to extract data from a excel spread sheets, I have
extracted data using Quattro pro but that was centuries ago.... My Question is..... I have a spreadsheet that has 4 Columns of data, these columns are date, company, class and amount... I want to search the column "class" for a specific word such as "gas", each time the program finds the word " gas "copy all the information from the other columns into specific columns in a different spreadsheet. I know this will be quite simple for the majorty of you experts if not all, but I have know idea and I cannot find out how by using the "help" in the program..... any examples would be greatly appreciated... -- Thank you, Tom |

DataFilterAutofilter. This will put a down arrow on each col. Click the down arrow on the desired col and select the value. This will filter the data by that value. You can now cut and paste it to a new sheet. gls858 |

![]() Another way would be to group your search criteria. Put all you 'gas' in columns so that they are all together. Sort them. Then create a group list. Then use data validation to create a drop down list for your entries. Once selected, use vlookup to fill in the rest. Im seaeching for the web page that shows you how to do this. If you are like this idea, let me know. -- comotoman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ comotoman's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=27292 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=478925 |
