I would like to be able to filter the attached numbers differently than what the numbers filter offers. I would like to be able to sort a group of numbers like in 3's or 4's. Is this possible? Not to complicate things it would be nice to be able to find an exact match. I have added a column F and notes under I and J. I have tried and tried several things but can not seem to find something that works. I appreciate any incite you may have I also have posted this question on another forum (Can I filter this differently? ) Not to complicate things it would be nice to be able to find an exact match. I have added a column F and notes under I and J

Here is the link to the file:

use the macro recorder, do a filter. stop the record and modify the code to what you want to match.

He is not saying your breaking the policy, he is saying most people post up a sample and from that sample we can try to do what you want. Not everyone wants to download a file (for both personal and security reasons).

I watcged the video several times but I do not get it. I mean, how can I sort what I want to sort using this application? How would I even get started writing this?

if you put up an example of your original data, or some made up data, together with how you want it to look, we can try to help you. Macros do not need to be complicated !

rows to be together eg
