Hi!

I am wondering if it's possible to use filter to select data with dates that
are after a certain date I enter in a cell.

Thank you very much!

You can use Data > Filter > Advanced Filter feature. In two consecutive rows
that do not risk to disappear when you apply a filter (it simply makes your
life easier when a filter is already applied and you want to change the date),
put in the top cell the column name of your dates and below the date value
with a comparison operator like >, < or =. Something like B1 and B2:
Date Of Shipment
=13-Aug-2007

Then select the range to filter (example A4:X456), and click on Data > Filter
Advanced Filter, and put in the criteria the range of the two cells above
(B1:B2). To speed up the process, you can add to one toolbar the command Data
Filter > Advanced Filter, so in two click (one on the button, then one on
OK in the new window) you will have a semi-automated system.
