new sheet with data from other sheets

[exceluser111]

I have a workbook, each sheet is a departmental list of tasks. Eac
task has a text status, a target date, a completion date (if done) an
a column for "O" or "C" outstanding or complete.

Question, how can I create another worksheet, within or outside of th
existing workbook, that automatically generates based on the O/
indicator being "O"? The workbook when printed is 42 pages, th
outstanding list is only two or three. I am not a power user o
excel.

Thank you

How about keeping all the data in the same location.

But then select your range and then use Data|Filter|Autofilter.

You can use the dropdown arrows to show just the rows you want.

And when you want to see all the data, just use Data|Filter|Show All.

There are routines available that will create separate sheets, but then it can
get dangerous. If someone updates the wrong version, your real data will be out
of sync.

You may want to look at the way Ron de Bruin and Debra Dalgleish approached it:

Ron de Bruin's EasyFilter addin:

Code from Debra Dalgleish's site:

Create New Sheets from Filtered List -- uses an Advanced Filter to create
separate sheet of orders for each sales rep visible in a filtered list; macro
automates the filter. AdvFilterRepFiltered.xls 35 kb

Update Sheets from Master -- uses an Advanced Filter to send data from
Master sheet to individual worksheets -- replaces old data with current.
AdvFilterCity.xls 55 kb

appreciate the insights to my attempt to create a summary list of
Outstanding items from numerous sheets in a workbook.
