    Filter multiple columns to show rows that satisfy the criteria in either columns

    Hi I'm trying to solve a problem where I need to be able to filter a table with multiple columns. The usual filter function shows the rows that satisfy the criteria of the filter in that single column and if I were to filter on multiple columns it would only show the rows that satisfied the criteria in both columns. I need to be able to show the rows that satisfy the criteria in either columns not both.

    Example sheet attached. I want to filter to only show the changes that are yes to either the red team or the green team - i.e. hide Change5 but the rest should stay.

    Thanks,

    David

    Use advanced filter.

    First, set up criteria field.

    Then go to Data ribbon tool and click on "Advanced" found in Sort & Filter section.

    Set it like below.

    Hit ok and it will only show Change1 to 4.
