copying names to list depending on certain conditions

[Guest]

I have a spreadsheet which contains people's names and numbers associated
with those people. I would like to set it up so if the number is greater
than 5 then excel will copy the name into a different list. I can do this
with IF statements but i get lots of blank cells where that person does not
fill the criteria.

Any ideas how to solve this????

This looks like a job for Data>Filter>Advanced Filter to me.

You can set a conditional criteria and specify a destination location.

This seems to only work for week 1
Week 2 I want it to compare the week 2 number column (Column C) to the names
(column A) and then copy the name into a seperate list but it seems unable to
skip the row inbetween.


Is this possible?

I think some sample data, type not an attachment, would help with expected
results as I have difficulty envisaging what you want.

Harzarding one guess ..

Assume data is in row2 down,
(Names in col A, numbers in col C as above)

Using 2 empty cols to the right, say cols E & F

Put in E2:
=IF(ISERROR(SMALL(F:F,ROWS($A$1:A1))),"",
INDEX(A:A,MATCH(SMALL(F:F,ROWS($A$1:A1)),F:F,0)))

Put in F2:
=IF(C2="","",IF(C2>5,C2+ROW()/10^10,""))
(Leave F1 empty)

Select E2:F2, copy down until the last row of data in cols A & C

Col E will return the list of names from col A
with numbers > 5 in col C, all neatly bunched at the top ..
