Have two three tabs in a workbook.
Tab 1 - Used to display results of Advanced Filter

Tab 2 - Contains Criteria Range for Advanced Filter (90 rows + header row)

Tab 3 - Contains List Range for Advanced Filter (5450 rows + header row)

I want to find all rows in Tab 3 that contain the same Case IDs that appear on Tab 2 in column B and copy columns A:K to Tab 1. Some Case IDs appear once and some may appear 20 times. I want all instances to copy.

I set Advanced Filter up as such:

The problem is, all 5450 rows from Tab 3 are being copied to the results tab, instead of only the rows that contain a value that appears on Tab 2. Am I missing a step?
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as time
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+2 to format cells as time. (Shift 2 is the @ sign).
I think that its because the header name in the criteria is different from the header in the data so the advanced filter has nothing to filter on.

I changed the header row so the column headings are identical and I am still getting the same surplus results. :confused:

You have specified entire columns for your criteria range. If you have blank rows in the criteria range you will get all records back, so you need to adjust that.
