    Automating a filter? or Multiple matching formula?

    Hi,

    I'm fairly new to excel and would really appreciate some help.

    I am trying to set up a spreadsheet that allows me to find multiple matches based on multiple cell values. For instance I have Name, Department, Salary, Employee ID, Year hired etc. I want to be able to call specific info (possibly through vlookup) from the employee ID and view other employees that match some of the information (year hired, salary, year hired). I know I could use a filter however it can be time consuming as it is a large database.

    Any ideas?

    Hi sairaz,

    Welcome to the forum.
    I would also suggest you to use filter but Advanced Filter with criteria not Autofilter. Thanks.

    Have you considered a pivot table?
    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
