Creating summary from a list

[Guest]

Hi,
I have a sheet with 8 columns that records the courses that people in the
company go on. The heading are: Rec ID, Name, Dept, Team, Course, Cost,
Status, budget.
Each row is unqiue and probably reach 100. (I understand to use match that I
will have to extend my columns to this amount but thats not a problem)

I need to produce a report that will allow me to select a dept and all the
rows that have that show that dept are copied to another area under a
prepared title.

I know you can use advance filter but that means copying and pasting but
this has to be automated so anyone can do it.

This is a panic job.... so many thanks.
Colin

Hi

There is no need to copy and paste. Advanced Filter can extract data to
another sheet, and can be combined with a macro to automate the procedure.

Take a look at Debra Dalgleish's site. She has lots of help on using
advanced Filter

Lots of example downloads here
