    Automated list generation

    Hi,

    I'm wondering is there is a way to extract a subset from a list that will automatically update itself when new data is entered.

    For example, I have the data in examplesheet1 (though my actual dataset is thousands of rows long) and I wish to generate a list of quotes for which the entry in column C is "YES" and the project number entry in column S is not blank. For this dataset it would look like the list in examplesheet2.
    In this instance I have used filters to remove the rows I don't want, but I was hoping to have a way in which I could autogenerate a list from the original dataset which I could see in a separate sheet that would automatically update itself as a) new rows were added to the original dataset and b) new project numbers were assigned to quotes.

    Thanks in advance!

    The formulas on the second sheet are array formulas, entered using Ctrl-Shift-Enter. They fill the yellow area, and as long as some are blank, you are getting the values from the first sheet that match your requirements.
