    Help with auto Filter to filter data across worksheets

    Hi,
    I have a problem in Excel that I need some assistance with please. I will try to explain to the best of my ability.

    I have a spreadsheet with multiple tabs. Let’s say Tab 1 is my “information” tab where I want to manage and activate my filters from. Tab 2 is the tab where all the data is in with multiple rows and columns. Here I can easily filter information in row A to what I need.

    Now, what I want to do is create a “Trigger” in Tab 1, so that when I click on it, it automatically filters Tab 2 to the column selected. Example, Tab 2 row a = Birds. On tab 1 if I click Birds it must take me to Tab 2 and filter accordingly. Then there must be a reset button to rest to default view.

    Hope this makes sense.

    I'm sorry, but mind reading is not my forte. You will need to explain in simple English what you have and what you want. Just providing some worksheets without an explanation does not help me to help you.

    Welcome to the forum.

    We would very much like to help you with your query, however the thread title does not really convey what your request is about. Tell us what you are trying to do, not how you think it should be done.

    Please see Forum Rule #1 about proper thread titles and adjust accordingly. To edit the thread title, open the original post to edit and then click on Go Advanced (bottom right) to access the area where you can edit your title.

    (Note: this change is not optional. As you are new here, I have done this for you today.)
