Filter question

Post by bknight »

A question concerning filters. I have a spreadsheet with filters in the column headers row 1 then mostly blank cells until data beginning in row 6.
When applying filters the data isn't filtered contains all still. What Am I doing wrong here

The filter range is probably only the header row.
Try the following:
- Turn off the filter.
- Select the entire range that you want to filter.
- Turn on the filter.
Best wishes,
Hans

Related to the filter. There is a column that only contains simple addition formulas and a column of values that leads to the additions. The two sums of the columns are different and should be identical. Is there a way to check the formulas columns to identify any value cells that might be omitted or duplicated? Neither of these two conditions should occur.

ETA:
The value cells are positive and negative and the addition formulas for the most part are 2 cell additions with a smattering of three cell additions.

If the number of discrepancies is small, you could use conditional formatting to highlight them, then inspect the formulas in the highlighted cells.

Otherwise, I'd have to see a copy of the workbook.
Best wishes,

The values are in column G, the formulas are in column O Gx + Gx+1 for the most part but not all.
