Hi there

Please tell me how to data sorted between 2 date by advanced filter. I
can only have data larger or smaller than a date but I can't make data
in between two date.

Create a helper column that tests the date to be between the ranges

=AND(C2>=datevalue1,C2<=datevalue2)

and sort by that column

Define 2 criteria on the same field
date date

=20/04/06 <=27/04/06

That should do it

Hello Bob

Thank you for your help.

Would you please further explain how. I finished typing th
"=and(c2>....." then I got a "False" in the cell but nothing more.

What I was suggesting is add a column, and in D1 add Test, D2, add the
formula =AND(C2>=--"2006-04-02",C2<=--"2006-04-04") and copy down (change
the dates to suit). This will only give TRUE or False but then create a
criteria range of Test, and TRUE, and use both columns and the criteria
range in the filter.

Hi Ardus

I was too early to be happy. For the problem seemed to be settled onc
but could not be seen again. I tested the ">=date<=date..." method an
succeeded once. Then I deleted the worksheet and tried again with th
one that I had genuine data but the problem appeared again. I checke
carefully of the wording but I just couldn't repeat once again with th
desired outcome. I could have only the heading of the range where
wanted to advanced filter but nothing more. Please help

Can you give an example of your data, the dates, the columns, headings and
the criteria and step by step what you did?

Hi Bob

I had a column (say a) for the date and a column (say b) for the qty.
I was trying to have a column (say d) and a column (say e) for putting
in criteria. I could have date sorted either by earlier or later than
a specific date. I could not get data of a period between two dates.
You advised me to have >=date1<=date2 worked once a while but not after
I re-tested it with a new file. If I set the criteria as just
mentioned, I would only get the heading of date,qty but nothing else.
The sorting stopped.
