    Thanks Leila !
    I have been using this since the year I actually happen to know about Advanced Filters (nearly 15 years back). It was a very handy feature, which helped me to create reports with only the required columns with Salary for different departments.
    And the order for the columns can be different. Heading in the criteria needs to be different from the Data Headers, if the formula mentioned in criteria results in a false or true or other value.
    Just for a change, I am feeling proud :)

    It is a great trick! I've been using it for years. It makes the process faster if you assign range names to your DB and criteria. It makes it even faster if you record the filtering process as a macro and assign it to a button (which requires macro-enabled file of course, with all the security issues that come along). I also make the process dynamic to allow users to adjust themselves the criteria. It is a great tool.

    3:46 Wow! After all of these years using Excel, I have NEVER used Advanced Filter! I learned something new.
    If I needed to do this filter, I probably would have done a traditional filter on the data, filtering 2 columns - on the "Date" column, I would have filtered for >= 7/1/2019; and additionally, on the "Article Description" column, I would have gone to one of the custom filters and enter the criteria: "*laptop*". Then I would have copied the entire data over to a new worksheet tab. Advanced Filters make it so much faster! :-)
    Because I've never used Advanced Filtering to begin with, I therefore did not know your trick, either.

  • @DSAlthaus
    @DSAlthaus 2 роки тому

    Wow! Just the kind of feature I've been looking for! Thanks. I've been working with spreadsheet products since Visicalc in the 1980's. I've done Lotus 1-2-3, and started with Excel 1.0. I'm not a newcomer, but I am in great need to update my skills since retiring at the end of 2015. It's a daunting task for this retired CPA.

    @philwongnz 3 роки тому

    Long time viewer, first time commenter. I am glad to say I actually know this. About 12 years ago, I was working on a set of budget data (I done the whole company's budget in excel). I needed to copy data over to input templates using a macro (which I had also had written) and but needed the output data in certain order and also didn't require the whole data set.
    It is super powerful, but advance filter is also very tricky when you need OR conditions which requires a bit of playing around with my experience.

    Yes, I use this Advanced Filter method all the time. Back in the old Lotus 1-2-3 days, it was called Data Query. I especially use it to provide data of not only specific fields, but by placing a check mark in the unique box, the “Query” or Filter will avoid duplicate records.

    It's funny, I knew this trick all along. The part I didn't know is that you get all the columns if you don't supply a header. For ~20 years I've been using advanced filter, I've always copied all the headers when I needed the entire thing, so that part is good to know!

    If you want to make it even more fun you can transpose your headers save them as a named range and then deploy the range using conditional formatting across the top of a page. Record the advanced filter as a macro and then let whoever is using your data extract the information they want, in the way they want.
