How to define a drop down row filter in cell C2 for cells C3:C27 ?

[Claudia d'Amato]

I have seen a couple of times Excelsheets where drop down filters exist in e.g. cell C2
for the range of cells from C3:C27.

So when in den cells C3:C27 value appear like

aaa
bbb
ccc
aaa

bbb
bbb
aaa
....
ccc

and I select the drop down menu in C2 then all available values should appear
when I select then "aaa" only those rows should remain which contain value "aaa".

How do I achieve such a row filtering?

In xl2003 menus:

Select C2:C27
Data|Filter|Autofilter

You may want to select more columns so that you could filter them, too.

I think if you highlight the row containing the titles to be filtered on, in
your example, highlight row C. Then select Data, Filter, Autofilter. I
think this will give you what you are looking for if I understood your
question.
