pulling data from one workbook to another based on a condition

[Dave H]

Help,
I am trying to pull data from one workbook to another based upon a condition
(in this case the State). However, the worksheet is sorted by a job code and
not the State itself so VLookup doesn't seem to work. Below is a sample for
reference:
I would like to copy all cells in a given row that contain data for AR for
example.
Thanks

Use AutoFilter

Hi,

You may use advanced filter and specify multiple criteria. You can also
specify which range of the worksheet would you want to extract data to.

acctaully this sound like the perfect scenrio for vlookup
infact if you have a unqiue text or value that can sorted acending
you are really in the money.
Start by copy and pasting the data into another sheet on the workbook
I find vlookup does not to well for file to file transfer of data
if you need file to file transfer of data just =a1
or exact template of the data the carred over
vlookup is should work great
wright back the vlookup formula you are using and
I could possible understand the delem better
