[SOLVED] filtering

Using Autofiltering to get a "custom view"

The custom view does not seem to work on any
new records that I add to the database.
Is there a way around this?

Is there a way to look at the combined criteria
for the "custom view" rather than looking at the different coloured
auto filter buttons? eg if I cannot recall the specification for each
"custom view"

I am currently practising on "advanced filtering".

If you insert the the new rows within the existing table, they'll be
included in the filter. Otherwise, the new rows will be excluded when
you apply the custom view.

AFAIK, there's no way to display the worksheet settings stored in a
custom view.

There's information on Advanced Filtering in Excel's help, and here:

http://www.contextures.com/xladvfilter01.html

And sample files here, under 'Filters':

You might want to experiment with recording some macros, to use with
your filters.

Once again, Debra,
"I dips me lid" in appreciation of your assistance.

I have another query, but I'll read your kindly offered links
first, I have began to master "advanced filtering"
and having a right old time, it's magic stuff.

I just cannot seem to get operators to work, under
"advanced filtering"
eg one column to filter a value between >=1.4 and <3.0
It just refuses to offer suitable filter, I've tried every matrix
under the criteria range box.
