If the data you want to filter requires complex criteria (such as Type = "Produce" OR Salesperson = "Davolio"), you can use the Advanced Filter dialog box.
To open the Advanced Filter dialog box, click Data > Advanced.
| Advanced Filter | Example |
|---|---|
| Overview of advanced filter criteria | |
| Multiple criteria, one column, any criteria true | Salesperson = "Davolio" OR Salesperson = "Buchanan" |
| Multiple criteria, multiple columns, all criteria true | Type = "Produce" AND Sales > 1000 |
| Multiple criteria, multiple columns, any criteria true | Type = "Produce" OR Salesperson = "Buchanan" |
| Multiple sets of criteria, one column in all sets | (Sales > 6000 AND Sales < 6500 ) OR (Sales < 500) |
| Multiple sets of criteria, multiple columns in each set | (Salesperson = "Davolio" AND Sales >3000) OR |
| Wildcard criteria | Salesperson = a name with 'u' as the second letter |
Overview of advanced filter criteria
The Advanced command works differently from the Filter command in several important ways.
-
It displays the Advanced Filter dialog box instead of the AutoFilter menu.
-
You type the advanced criteria in a separate criteria range on the worksheet and above the range of cells or table that you want to filter. Microsoft Office Excel uses the separate criteria range in the Advanced Filter dialog box as the source for the advanced criteria.
Sample data
The following sample data is used for all procedures in this article.
The data includes four blank rows above the list range that will be used as a criteria range (A1:C4) and a list range (A6:C10). The criteria range has column labels and includes at least one blank row between the criteria values and the list range.
To work with this data, select it in the following table, copy it, and then paste it in cell A1 of a new Excel worksheet.
| Type | Salesperson | Sales |
| Type | Salesperson | Sales |
| Beverages | Suyama | $5122 |
| Meat | Davolio | $450 |
| produce | Buchanan | $6328 |
| Produce | Davolio | $6544 |
Comparison operators
You can compare two values by using the following operators. When two values are compared by using these operators, the result is a logical value—either TRUE or FALSE.
| Comparison operator | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| = (equal sign) | Equal to | A1=B1 |
| > (greater than sign) | Greater than | A1>B1 |
| < (less than sign) | Less than | A1<B1 |
| >= (greater than or equal to sign) | Greater than or equal to | A1>=B1 |
| <= (less than or equal to sign) | Less than or equal to | A1<=B1 |
| <> (not equal to sign) | Not equal to | A1<>B1 |
Using the equal sign to type text or a value
Because the equal sign (=) is used to indicate a formula when you type text or a value in a cell, Excel evaluates what you type; however, this may cause unexpected filter results. To indicate an equality comparison operator for either text or a value, type the criteria as a string expression in the appropriate cell in the criteria range:
=''= entry ''
Where entryis the text or value you want to find. For example:
| What you type in the cell | What Excel evaluates and displays |
|---|---|
| ="=Davolio" | =Davolio |
| ="=3000" | =3000 |
Considering case-sensitivity
When filtering text data, Excel doesn't distinguish between uppercase and lowercase characters. However, you can use a formula to perform a case-sensitive search. For an example, see the section Wildcard criteria.
Using pre-defined names
You can name a range Criteria, and the reference for the range will appear automatically in the Criteria range box. You can also define the name Database for the list range to be filtered and define the name Extract for the area where you want to paste the rows, and these ranges will appear automatically in the List range and Copy to boxes, respectively.
Creating criteria by using a formula
You can use a calculated value that is the result of a formula as your criterion. Remember the following important points:
-
The formula must evaluate to TRUE or FALSE.
-
Because you are using a formula, enter the formula as you normally would, and do not type the expression in the following way:
=''= entry ''
-
Do not use a column label for criteria labels; either keep the criteria labels blank or use a label that is not a column label in the list range (in the examples that follow, Calculated Average and Exact Match).
If you use a column label in the formula instead of a relative cell reference or a range name, Excel displays an error value such as #NAME? or #VALUE! in the cell that contains the criterion. You can ignore this error because it does not affect how the list range is filtered.
(Video) Advanced Excel Filter (And, Or, Between conditions for criteria range) -
The formula that you use for criteria must use a relative reference to refer to the corresponding cell in the first row of data.
-
All other references in the formula must be absolute references.
Multiple criteria, one column, any criteria true
Boolean logic:(Salesperson = "Davolio" OR Salesperson = "Buchanan")
-
Insert at least three blank rows above the list range that can be used as a criteria range. The criteria range must have column labels. Make sure that there is at least one blank row between the criteria values and the list range.
-
To find rows that meet multiple criteria for one column, type the criteria directly below each other in separate rows of the criteria range. Using the example, enter:
Type
Salesperson
Sales
="=Davolio"
="=Buchanan"
-
Click a cell in the list range. Using the example, click any cell in the range A6:C10.

-
To filter the list range by copying rows that match your criteria to another area of the worksheet, click Copy to another location, click in the Copy to box, and then click the upper-left corner of the area where you want to paste the rows.
TipWhen you copy filtered rows to another location, you can specify which columns to include in the copy operation. Before filtering, copy the column labels for the columns that you want to the first row of the area where you plan to paste the filtered rows. When you filter, enter a reference to the copied column labels in the Copy to box. The copied rows will then include only the columns for which you copied the labels.
