    Applying a filter to multiple sheets

    Is it possible to apply a filter to multiple sheets within the same Excel workbook, using the same filter criteria?

    For example, suppose you have tables of data on 3 different tabs, all having the same headings. Suppose one of the headings is "gender". If you apply a filter to the table on Sheet 1, to only show the rows containing the word "female", is it possible to have the tables on Sheets 2 and 3 automatically update to only show the "female" rows? Or would you have to manually update the filter criteria in Sheets 2 and 3?

    I hope this makes sense. Thank you in advance for any help.

    Thanks, I suspected I'd need to use VBA to do this, and I've attached a sample file. This isn't the actual data, but it shows the sort of layout I'm working with. When a filter is selected on the first sheet, it needs to be applied to all the other sheets as well.
