Search and Select multiple items from Excel filter results












0














I want to be able to deselect all values from the excel filter and just search for a value and select the checkbox as I go.



But when I search for a user + select it and search for another one it doesn't remember my previous selection. I.e. it can only search and show one user at the time.



I do not want to scroll through the fields and select them one by one...



How do I search and select multiple users on an 'as I go' method?

          It's quite simple and built in - here is the procedure



           1. Filter on your first selection
          2. Search for your next value and select it
          3. Also select "add current selection to filter"
          4. Press OK
          5. Repeat from 2

            To my knowledge, you can't do what you're describing. If you want to see all instances of a set of keywords, you can create a list and use the Advanced Filter function, but that's slightly different than what you're describing.
