Hello,
I am working on building a database, of sorts, in Excel.
As a requirement we need to be able to filter by/return a set of results from multiple criteria within individual columns and across multiple columns.
Ideally we need to be able to perform this task using excel online which does not appear to support macros or advanced filtering.
In order to save on the number of rows, criteria may be contained within a substring (keywords, in this example).
So, in the below (and attached) example table, I want to view all results containing 2010 in column C OR keyword in column D 1 OR keyword 3 in column D.
This would return rows 2, 3, 5 & 6.
A B C D
1 Title Author Year Keywords
2 Title 1 Author 1 2010 Keyword 1; keyword 2; keyword 3; keyword 4
3 Title 2 Author 2 2020 keyword 4; keyword 3; keyword 1
4 Title 3 Author 3 2011 keyword 2
5 Title 4 Author 4 2010 keyword 3; keyword 2
6 Title 5 Author 5 2009 keyword 3; keyword 4; keyword 1
7 Title 6 Author 6 2010 keyword 4
Is this possible in the online environment? Is it even possible in the desktop version?
I appreciate any advice or pointers you can give me as I’ve been trawling the internet and coming up with nothing fruitful.
Cheers
