How to Select large amount of data in a colum that equals column from another table.

[Jennifer Burnel]

Ive got a huge table and I want to select the data in one column that is
equal to that of a column in another table?

is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks

One way, if you know the parameters of the original, is to type the
references in the name box and hit <Enter>.

For example, click in the name box and enter:
E1:E65000
Then <Enter>.

The column consists of 6000 items where I need to select around 2000 so I
need a swift solution.
Thanks

Which 2,000?
How are the cells identified?

Could you be more precise?

Does this help:
If you can click in the first cell, say E21,
then click in the name box and enter E2012,
Then hold down <Shift>,
and hit <Enter>.

I dont think Ive explained this very well.

I will explain exactly what Im trying to do:

as an example I have a table with over 5000+ lines of data and one of the
columns has each products unique image name.

Out of the product data table I will only require around 1000+ lines but
these will be individually selected from the image name I require.

using the thumbnail image view in windows XP explorer, I will then use
folderview to copy the names of the chosen images
to a table. These image names will then represent the data I require.

What I dont want to have to do is go through the table selecting each line
required matching my image list then
cutting and pasting into a new table, because Ive got a large number of
tables to edit this way 70,000 + lines of data.

Assuming your large table is in the range A1:E20000, with image names in
column A, and your list of images is in range J1:J1000

In cell, F2, enter the following formula:
=COUNTIF($J$1:$J$2000,A2)

Copy the formula down to the last row of data

Select a cell in the large table, and choose Data>Filter>AutoFilter
From the dropdown list in cell F1, select 1
Select and copy the filtered table, and paste on a different worksheet
