    Hey Kevin, rise and shine! Your videos never fail to brighten my day, but today, I've hit a snag in Spreadsheet Land. Picture this: me, desperately searching for the elusive FILTER function, only to find out it's playing hard to get, reserved exclusively for Excel 2021 and Microsoft 365 VIPs. Talk about a plot twist! So here I am, stranded in Microsoft Office Home and Business 2019 territory, feeling like I missed the train to Spreadsheet Paradise. Any chance you've got a secret map to a search box workaround? I'm all ears! Keep spreading the spreadsheet wisdom, and thanks a million for your tireless efforts. Looking forward to your sage advice! Cheers, Chad. 🚀

    I wonder how much Excel sifus charge in the past for these valuable knowledge and now with UA-cam we're getting it for just a meager cost of data, electricity and time. Thanks Kevin. Super helpful!

    As an easy way to reference a larger number of columns select the area you need and use the create from selection option under formulas. Use the top row option to name them in bulk and tweak the reference to include the first row. Thanks for the tutorial!

    Spent hours banging my head against this formula while trying to figure out how to get the multiple columns to work. Thank you so much!
    Oh, also: this can be done without the fancy ActiveX search box. Useful to know if, like me, you work for an organization that forces the crappy web licence for 365 on you (ActiveX, VBA, and lots of other features being arbitrarily not supported).

    This is one of those times that being self-taught is a detriment. I had no idea this function was even available, so I’ve always just used control+F and then tabbed through the results. Having it show the results in a table will be very helpful. Saved this one and will definitely be trying it. Thank you!!!

    • @cwjakesteel
      @cwjakesteel 3 роки тому +3

      I also felt the need to be self taught though when so many teachers want to turn this into a $200 course that lasts months when we could learn it in 2 weeks with Kevin.

  • @thomask5649

    Your solution is great. Another top-video. Thanx Kevin.
    I would change the file type from xlsm (with macros) to xlsx as it doesn't contain any program code. If you don't use an active-X-control, you may use it in OneDrive or SharePoint in the Browser as well.
    As questioned in a comment below to check, if the search-text is at the beginning I would check the value in the search-Column I. If this is a numer and it is 1, then the searched text is at the beginning. You can do this for example in column K with the function IF in which you check the search-Result and the Number-Status.
    For example:
    =IF(J5#,IF(I5#=1,1,0),0)
    Include this in the FILTER-Function.
    Hope this helps
    Tom

    Well of course I can't choose one cookie because I love every type.
    But I can choose my favourite UA-camr. It is you. And you are also the first channel that I subscribed to right after I started watching UA-cam videos.
    I am just excelling in Excel and now I am the smartest.
    Nah! Just kidding.
    YOU ARE LITERALLY THE BEST.

    @toddharrison2213 3 місяці тому

    Excellent teaching method. I like how you explain things slowly and with highlights. I have one question.... Are you able to change values in your search results that will remain changed in the original list. For example: Kevin changed his mind and he doesn't want a banana cookie anymore. He wants chocolate chip Your list is very long and you don't want to scroll down to find him. Can you search in the search bar for Kevin, change his cookie to chocolate chip. Will it change to chocolate chip in your original list?

    This is one of the most ingenius solutions made possible in Excel! Thanks!
    I'm trying to take it a step further. To be able to search on more than 1 keyword, just like the way an HTML search engine would work. I did some researching on the internet. I think you need to make it work by adding additional search boxes and link those search boxes to separate cells and add references to those separate cells into the one formula. But somehow I can't figure out how to make it work so I only get the results based on all multiple criteria.
