Filter Each Range or Cell

[jevi]

Hi All:

I have a list and would like to filter each information, i hope the sample below is clear .

<TABLE style="WIDTH: 108pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=144 border=0><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 48pt" width=64><COL style="WIDTH: 60pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 2925" width=80><TBODY><TR style="HEIGHT: 15pt" height=20><TD class=xl69 style="BORDER-RIGHT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-TOP: #d4d0c8; BORDER-LEFT: #d4d0c8; WIDTH: 48pt; BORDER-BOTTOM: #d4d0c8; HEIGHT: 15pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" width=64 height=20>Country</TD><TD class=xl69 style="BORDER-RIGHT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-TOP: #d4d0c8; BORDER-LEFT: #d4d0c8; WIDTH: 60pt; BORDER-BOTTOM: #d4d0c8; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" width=80>Criteria</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 15pt" height=20><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-TOP: #d4d0c8; BORDER-LEFT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #d4d0c8; HEIGHT: 15pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" height=20>Albania</TD><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-TOP: #d4d0c8; BORDER-LEFT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #d4d0c8; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent">High</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 15pt" height=20><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-TOP: #d4d0c8; BORDER-LEFT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #d4d0c8; HEIGHT: 15pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" height=20>Albania</TD><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-TOP: #d4d0c8; BORDER-LEFT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #d4d0c8; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent">Medium</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 15pt" height=20><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-TOP: #d4d0c8; BORDER-LEFT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #d4d0c8; HEIGHT: 15pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" height=20>Albania</TD><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-TOP: #d4d0c8; BORDER-LEFT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #d4d0c8; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent">Low</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 15pt" height=20><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-TOP: #d4d0c8; BORDER-LEFT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #d4d0c8; HEIGHT: 15pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" height=20>Albania</TD><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-TOP: #d4d0c8; BORDER-LEFT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #d4d0c8; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent">Average</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 15pt" height=20><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-TOP: #d4d0c8; BORDER-LEFT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #d4d0c8; HEIGHT: 15pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" height=20>Romania</TD><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-TOP: #d4d0c8; BORDER-LEFT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #d4d0c8; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent">High</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 15pt" height=20><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-TOP: #d4d0c8; BORDER-LEFT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #d4d0c8; HEIGHT: 15pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" height=20>Romania</TD><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-TOP: #d4d0c8; BORDER-LEFT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #d4d0c8; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent">Medium</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 15pt" height=20><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-TOP: #d4d0c8; BORDER-LEFT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #d4d0c8; HEIGHT: 15pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" height=20>Romania</TD><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-TOP: #d4d0c8; BORDER-LEFT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #d4d0c8; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent">Low</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 15pt" height=20><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-TOP: #d4d0c8; BORDER-LEFT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #d4d0c8; HEIGHT: 15pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" height=20>Romania</TD><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-TOP: #d4d0c8; BORDER-LEFT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #d4d0c8; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent">Average</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 15pt" height=20><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-TOP: #d4d0c8; BORDER-LEFT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #d4d0c8; HEIGHT: 15pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" height=20>Romania</TD><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-TOP: #d4d0c8; BORDER-LEFT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-BOTTOM: #d4d0c8; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent">Top</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

So I would like that i can have a filter in the cells of Criteria Column, as for Example I would like to select High, Medium, Low for each country and not the other criteria...so have a filter in each cell!!

So Albania would be in a row and would have to filter (High, Medium, Low, Average, Top).

Hope is a lucky day as friday for help

.

Thnx

Sorry, it's not clear what you want to do exactly.

Can you explain in more detail please ?

Let's say you apply one of the filters, what do you want to see then ?

Hello:

I hope I am more clear now as sometimes is so difficult to explain what i have in mind! Below is the example. Thank you a lot.

<TABLE style="WIDTH: 240pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=320 border=0><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 48pt" span=5 width=64><TBODY><TR style="HEIGHT: 15pt" height=20><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-TOP: #d4d0c8; BORDER-LEFT: #d4d0c8; WIDTH: 48pt; BORDER-BOTTOM: #d4d0c8; HEIGHT: 15pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" width=64 height=20>Albania</TD><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-TOP: #d4d0c8; BORDER-LEFT: #d4d0c8; WIDTH: 48pt; BORDER-BOTTOM: #d4d0c8; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" width=64>high </TD><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #d4d0c8; BORDER-TOP: #d4d0c8; BORDER-LEFT: #d4d0c8; WIDTH: 144pt; BORDER-BOTTOM: #d4d0c8; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; mso-ignore: colspan" width=192 colSpan=3> ( so where is high, it has also other options and I would like to select from this list HIGH)

I did found the soluation at excel help icon...just if someone have the same problem. Feel so happy when u finally find the solution .

Create a drop-down list from a range of cells
To create a list of valid entries for the drop-down list, type the entries in a single column or row without blank cells. For example: <TABLE class=collapse><TBODY><TR class=trbgeven><TH class=thhead vAlign=top align=left width="30%"></TH><TH class=thhead vAlign=top align=left width="70%">A</TH></TR><TR class=trbgodd><TH class=thhead vAlign=top align=left width="30%">1</TH><TD class=noborder vAlign=top align=left width="70%">Sales</TD></TR><TR class=trbgeven><TH class=thhead vAlign=top align=left width="30%">2</TH><TD class=noborder vAlign=top align=left width="70%">Finance</TD></TR><TR class=trbgodd><TH class=thhead vAlign=top align=left width="30%">3</TH><TD class=noborder vAlign=top align=left width="70%">R&D</TD></TR><TR class=trbgeven><TH class=thhead vAlign=top align=left width="30%">4</TH><TD class=noborder vAlign=top align=left width="70%">MIS</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>Note You may want to sort the data in the order that you want it to appear in the drop-down list.

1. If you want to use another worksheet, type the list on that worksheet, and then define a name (name: A word or string of characters that represents a cell, range of cells, formula, or constant value. Use easy-to-understand names, such as Products, to refer to hard to understand ranges, such as Sales!C20:C30.) for the list.
   How to define a name
   
   1. Select the cell, range of cells, or nonadjacent selections (nonadjacent selection: A selection of two or more cells or ranges that don't touch each other. When plotting nonadjacent selections in a chart, make sure that the combined selections form a rectangular shape.) that you want to name.
   2. Click the Name box at the left end of the formula bar (formula bar: A bar at the top of the Excel window that you use to enter or edit values or formulas in cells or charts. Displays the constant value or formula stored in the active cell.).
   3. Type the name for the cells, for example, ValidDepts.
   4. Press ENTER.
   Note You cannot name a cell while you are changing the contents of the cell.
   
2. Select the cell where you want the drop-down list.
3. On the Data tab, in the Data Tools group, click Data Validation.
   The Data Validation dialog box is displayed.
4. Click the Settings tab.
5. In the Allow box, click List.
6. To specify the location of the list of valid entries, do one of the following:
   • If the list is in the current worksheet, enter a reference to your list in the Source box.
   • If the list is on a different worksheet, enter the name that you defined for your list in the Source box.
   In both cases, make sure that the reference or name is preceded with an equal sign (=). For example, enter =ValidDepts.
7. Make sure that the In-cell drop-down check box is selected.
8. To specify whether the cell can be left blank, select or clear the Ignore blank check box.
9. Optionally, display an input message when the cell is clicked.
   How to display an input message
   
   1. Click the Input Message tab.
   2. Make sure that the Show input message when cell is selected check box is selected.
   3. Type the title and text for the message (up to 225 characters).
10. Specify how you want Microsoft Office Excel to respond when invalid data is entered.
    How to specify a response to invalid data
    
    1. Click the Error Alert tab, and make sure that the Show error alert after invalid data is entered check box is selected.
    2. Select one of the following options for the Style box:
       • To display an information message that does not prevent entry of invalid data, click Information.
       • To display a warning message that does not prevent entry of invalid data, click Warning.
       • To prevent entry of invalid data, click Stop.
    3. Type the title and text for the message (up to 225 characters). Note If you don't enter a title or text, the title defaults to "Microsoft Excel" and the message to: "The value you entered is not valid. A user has restricted values that can be entered into this cell."

Notes

• The width of the drop-down list is determined by the width of the cell that has the data validation. You may need to adjust the width of that cell to prevent truncating the width of valid entries that are wider than the width of the drop-down list.
• The maximum number of entries that you can have in a drop-down list is 32,767.
• If the validation list is on another worksheet and you want to prevent users from seeing it or making changes, consider hiding and protecting that worksheet.
