    Question populate a separate sheet with rows found using a single value

    Hello,

    I'm trying to:

    A) search for a value in a column (i.e., a person's last name)
    B) in another place, print the whole row where each instance of the value is found.

    In other words, the goal is to have a list of a list of rows plucked from the whole document, each of which was chosen because of a common value.

    Can anybody give me a quick overview of how I'd do this? Even if you can't give me specifics, I'd love to know what I should be researching.

    I really appreciate it.

    Sam

    If this something you'll be doing often, then you will probably want a VBA solution which will loop through a list of names. However, for a non-VBA approach that may work for you, take a look at using Advanced Filter with crtieria.

    Do you know . . . ?

    Palmetto, thanks for the reply. I failed to mention that this would have to be automatic, so I assume a VBA solution will be the way forward. I'm a relative novice so I'll have to do some research on how to implement that.

    Thanks again.
