I have three coulmns
Column1 has values a,e,d
Column2 has values e,a,p
Filter has values a,x,y
Now on selecting filter value a in the Filter column the sheet should list two rows i.e. a,e and e.a
please let me know how to do that
I also want to filter rows by a value exist in a range of columns.
And I found a way:
Step1:
Add a new column (example: D), and use COUNTIF function to check if the value is exist in a range of columns or not.
Example: =COUNTIF($E3:$V3, "Value") > 0
Step2:
Just filter by column D, with the value TRUE
The only way to do it using a filter would be with a helper column
In C1, enter =A1&B1 or =CONCATENATE(A1,B1)
THen you can filter C using the text filter. If it contains "a"....
You can use an Advanced Filter - Data->Advanced
Say on sheet 1 you have:
Col1 Col2
e a
a x
p y
On Sheet two, write out:
Col1 Col2
a
a
(Note that's 3 rows total, 1 for the header, then the first a under col1, then the 2nd a under col2.)
Highlight the range you want to filter on Sheet1, click the Advanced button under the Sort and Filter section of the Data tab on the ribbon - click the Criteria button, navigate to and highlight the criteria you set up on sheet 2, and click Ok

I have a Table in excel like the following one:
col1 col2
A 1
B 0
A 2
B 2
B 3
I was not able to find a way to select a subset of the table like this one using an excel function.
col11 col22
B 0
B 2
B 3
based on the value "B" of column col1 or just be able to select the col22' from the given subset.
I would like to have a solution that does not require to VBA nor array formula. I found on Internet the function FILTER, but it is not available yet and Structured References does not have such functionality.
I would like to use for example the result col22 as a column at another place of my spreadsheet. Other languages such as R, provide a function subset that does this in a pretty simple way. In excel it is really easy to filter using the Excel interface (filter button), but I am not aware of a function that does something similar programatically.
I had the same problem and the only thing I found on the internet was the FILTER function too.
I wanted to vlookup a subset of a table based on another column. My solution was to make another column that is the concatenation of the two. Then I used vlookup on this column.
I don't know what are you going to do with the subset table that you want to have. But you can do it in a different way as I did. May it helps.
Assuming col1 is A and col 2 is B and your result set's col1 and col2 are E and F respectively, try this formula in column C: =IF(A2=$E$2,MAX($C$1:C1)+1,0)
Now, in cell E2 (i left the first row for a header), i physically typed "B" to make this the input source and allowing for dynamic reporting. for as many cells below that as you wish, the following formula will only show the total number of "B"s that are in your input source: =IF(ROW(A2)>MAX(C:C),"",E2) Notice i did not fix the cells with $ as your following row depends on the former.
Cell F2 (the top of your col2 field for the result set) include: =INDEX(B:B,MATCH(G2,C:C,0)) and in G2 put: =IF(E2="","",G1+1) and copy both down as far as you have formulas in column E (or result set col1).
The reason for the IF statements is for formatting rather than displaying errors on failed lookups.
Goal: extract a subset of the current sheet only when values in the first column match a value in the first column of another 'Sheet1':
=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!$A:$B,2,FALSE)
Add the formula above in the first cell of the first empty column, then sort Z-A this column and remove all "#N/A" rows, then re-order again A-Z the first column and remove this temporary column.
The unique values are B, D, and F. I want to extract rows with a max Value in C. Thanks for the help.
Here is the sample value

This question is more suited to SuperUser because it's not programming-related but here's a quick answer.
If you want to display only rows where Column C = Maximum of Column C then you can use AutoFilter.
Select (highlight) the range to filter - in your example that's B3:F6.
Click Filter on the Data tab to turn on AutoFilter.
Click the arrow drop-down arrow in the column header for column C.
Click Number Fiters -> Top 10...
Choose Top 1 Items and click OK.
Only rows with Column C = max(column C) will be displayed.

I have a sheet as below
I want my output to show
In short: How do I filter rows based on val1 and show all column1 data?
I want to show all column1 values where column2 has val1 as one of its values.
You can use the Advanced Filter
Criteria formula:
=OR(COUNTIFS($B$8:$B$17,$B$2,$A$8:$A$17,A8),A8="")
The A8 = "" is there so blank rows will be included
B2 contains the val you wish to filter on.
I have two simple columns in Excel below
ID ID1
123 123
124 125
125 126
126
I was able to use the conditional formatting in excel as follow:
1. Highlight the 2 columns
2. Click on the conditional formatting
3. New rule
4. Select format only unique or duplicate values
5. Select unique under format all:
6. Select Format and click ok.
I can see that the steps above shows the highlighted value which is 124.
My question is, how can I filter out that 124 value from such a small sample above?
I have a columnA that has 50k records and columnB that has 48k records. I want to see or filter out the 2k records from columnA.
Here's one approach using match and a filter.
Enter =MATCH(A1,B:B,) in column c add a filter to row 1 and filter for column C values that are #N/A the values in column A which say #N/A in column C are not in column B.
An alternative approach would be to move the column B under Column A and use COLUMN b to define the source ID, ID1... and then use a pivot table to show you both sets and what could be missing from each...
Notice how 5 is not IN ID while 13 is in ID but not in ID1.
also notice that duplicates on Row 5 show up as well.
One way of doing this (kind of manual) is to find the values which are duplicates (the ones that are highlighted). Then select both the columns and all the data.
Then go to: Home > Editing group> Sort & Filter > Filter
There should be small, down arrows on the column headers. Then you can un-check the duplicates.
EDIT
Thanks to xQbert for pointing out my mistake. Here is a way to solve this:
If possible, you can move the second column to another worksheet. Now use the following formula in a column next to the first column:
=COUNTIF(Sheet2!A2:A5,Sheet1!A2:A5)
Just change the cells to the ones for your table. The first parameter is the second column (which you should have put in the new sheet). The second parameter is the first column which will be highlighted. This will put a '1' next to each value which is duplicated.
Then you can use conditional formatting to highlight the cells with a '1' next to them using this formula in the "New Rule":
=B2=1 That is the cell number of the first cell in the first column. It should be highlighted to the colour you set it to. To copy the formatting to the rest of the cells, click on the first cell B1. Then go Home > Format Painter. Drag the formatting to the entire column.
You can then use the filter to show only the cells with "No Fill"
You will have to do the same for the data in the new sheet.
This was a very 'hacky' solution but it's what is possible.
This one might be a trivial one:
I have an excel with three columns
Column A - Date
Column B- Values
Column C - Values
I want to view only the rows where Column B value > Value of Column C
Have tried conditional formatting and custom filter, however didnt succeed. Very likely that am not doing in the correct way. Thanks in advance
In a fourth column, put =IF(B# > C#,"TRUE","FALSE").
Then select all four columns, go to Data > Filter, then filter based on TRUE.
