Filter data based on cell value and have the result updated automaticly when cell value is changed

[Art-art]

Hi board,

I'm struggeling with something nasty:
- I have a set of data in the area A1 through C10
- There is a value I want to use to filter the data in E2
Now I want to filter the data from the area A1:C10 based on the criteria of E2. This could be done with an advanced filter in case I would add proper headings to all data.
The problem however is: In case I change the value of E2, I have to redefine the advanced filter.
My question: Is there a way to have the result of the filter (so only the rows meeting with the criteria) right after changing E2?
Solutions showing the filtered data right on the spot as well as at some other place are both fine for me

You can extract the filtered data to a different location using formulas.

There is an example here that extracts data from a single column based on a condition but you should be able to figure it out for multiple columns. Basically, you would just copy the formula across a row to pick up the data from the other columns.

Just post back if you get stuck.

Note that is may not be very efficient on 1000's of rows of data.

Try this:

1) Create the following layout for the Advanced Filter in a spreadsheet with the name of AdvancedFilter.
