    Unhappy Filtering database information from one sheet to another

    For work we use a database on Excel that gets updated every day with the day's figures (it includes date, customer name, purchase price, and other descriptive columns that I often have to filter and print out to create reports). I am looking for a way to filter the information on the main sheet onto a different sheet automatically as the main sheet changes every day.

    FOR EXAMPLE: I want to create another sheet called "RED" and as I add more customers with the code "RED" I would like for the Date, Name, and Total to copy over to the sheet.

    Is there a way to do this with Excel? If not, any ideas on how to achieve this?

    You can do this with a couple of formulae. Attach a sample Excel workbook (can't do much with a picture) and I can show you how.

    Try this...

    This array formula** entered in cell A2 on sheet Red :

    =IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1!A:A,SMALL(IF(Sheet1!$D$2:$D$30="Red",ROW(Sheet1!D$2:D$30)),ROWS(A$2:A2))),"")

    ** array formulas need to be entered using the key
    combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER).
    Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key
    then hit ENTER.

    Copy across to C2 then down until you get blanks.
