Adding a User Controlled Filter

Here we want to add some controls to the worksheet so that the user can filter to see whatever they need at the time.

  1. Select/Highlight the heading cells on row 1.

  2. From the Editing tab on the ribbon, select Sort&Filter and then Filter


  3. You can now use the new drop down buttons on each column to apply a filter to the data shown - NOTE, this does not change the totals in this case.

Problem:

This filter applies to all rows - including the totals. You can see this if you were to use the ID filter and see the value "210" which is from the total row.

Fix:

Add an empty row to above the total row to create a break between the data and the totals.
