    How about on a second sheet you can choose from a range of values in a drop-down, and then below that the matching records will automatically appear as if being filtered?

    You can do that with 3 basic formulae - post a sample workbook and I'll set it up for you.

    Hope this helps.

    Have you considered using the built-in filter function in excel? You apply filters, click the drop-down, uncheck what you dont want (or uncheck all, check what you want), and you are left with just your selection
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Hi Pete

    Any chance I can email you what I have so that you can set the filter up, i mainly need it to be on the same page as the list.

    also I hav two spread sheets with the same information in, the spread sheet on sheet 1 is how we want it to look because it gets rid of the the duplicated data on the fire checklist.

    Also i do not want to post it on here as the data is live data and we use it every day.
