Skip if false?

[DeFautT]

Hello all,

I have a spreadsheet containing some machine information. One colomn
has an IF Function to determine if the machine needs a new name plate
or not.(=IF(C3="n","No",IF(D3="N","Yes","No")). Obviously looking at
two other columns to make the decision. I would like to transfer only
the machines needing a name plate to another spreadsheet. If i put
another IF Function in the new spreadsheet, is there a way to make it
skip over the machines that do not need a name plate? Something like
(=IF('Equipment Report (Simple List)'!E3="Yes",'Equipment Report
(Simple List)'!A3,""). This will return a blank if the machine does
not need one. I would like to just get the machines needing the new
tags. I know I could go through and just delete the blank lines, but
we're taking about thousands of machines!

Thanks in advance for the help.

Try <Data><Filter><AutoFilter> then set the filter to get only those where
you get a true condition in your formula. Then you can simply copy the
filtered data to another location.

Thanks, it worked great. Pretty simple too. <Slaps hand on forehead,
"Why didn't I think of that?">
