Filtering which cells are visible<br />

A filter is a list of conditions that each entry has to meet in order to be displayed. Three filters are<br />

available from the Data > Filter sub-menu.<br />

AutoFilter. This adds a drop-down list to the top row of one or more data columns which lets you<br />

select the rows to be displayed. <strong>The</strong> list includes every unique entry in the selected cells sorted<br />

into lexical order. See http://sheepsystems.com/bookdog/HelpBook/LexicalOrder.html for an<br />

explanation of lexical order. AutoFilter can now be used on multiple sheets without first defining a<br />

database range.<br />

Simple example.<br />

Figure 63: An address list to be filtered<br />

1) Select the data range which we wish to filter: A1 to F15.<br />

2) Select Data > Filter > AutoFilter from the Menu bar.<br />

3) Drop-down list boxes appear at the top of each column.<br />

4) Select the Arrow at the top of the Title column and select all the entries whose title is Mrs<br />

by clicking on this entry in the box (see Figure 64).<br />
