    Red face Excel:Filtered Columns in different sheets apply same filter?

    I will try to explain it the best I can.

    So I have a list of 15000 data, and i have different variables column B= Last Name 1, C= Last Name 2,D= First Name, E= Second Name. Also one sheet per each sheet 1 = Last Name 1, 2= Last Name 2,3= First Name, 4= Second Name.

    I went ahead and created one sheet per each variables but now i need to join them all to verify how many of the 15000, i found had input errors. Please don't get confused I know I could easily add them all and get the total, but I will detail and example:

    Lets say that in sheet 1 i filtered all the last names "Smithj" but in sheet 3 I filtered the "Sanndra". So i don't know how many of the ones i filtered in sheet 1 are also shown up in sheets 2,3 and 4.

    Please let me know if you need more detail. Thanks in advanced

    You requirement seems to be achieved by using Countif or Pivot Table, so please attach a sample workbook with expected output for giving the exact solution.

    Wink Re: Excel:Filtered Columns in different sheets apply same filter?

    Hi,

    Lets say that in sheet 1 i filtered all the last names "Smithj" but in sheet 3 I filtered the "Sanndra". So i don't know how many of the ones i filtered in sheet 1 are also shown up in sheets 2,3 and 4.

    In Honduras we use 2 last names.
    Sheet 1= Input Errors=First Last Name
    Sheet 2= Input Errors=Second Last Name
    Sheet 3= Input Errors=First Name
    Sheet 4= Input Errors=Second Name

    What I meant was: I filtered in each sheet I filtered it by input mistakes, I had to do it manually as some names a written different in my country so I can't spell check it if not I think everything would be wrong.

    I want to apply the filter I selected in sheet 1 to all the other sheets so it can show me all the input mistakes, instead of me doing it all over again.

    Hope this is better
