User

So I'll try to explain
User

I have a spreadsheet with about 10,000 entries in column A
User
14/06/2018 - 03:37
These are all duplicates
Excelchat Expert
14/06/2018 - 03:37

User
14/06/2018 - 03:38

So what I'm trying to do is delete any name (all references to the name) if column B does not have particular numbers (say 9 or 2)
Excelchat Expert
14/06/2018 - 03:42
So you want to keep names where column B has 9 or 2?
User
14/06/2018 - 03:42
So in this example, it would leave us with Bill, Sam, and Leo
User
14/06/2018 - 03:42
But delete all references to Ted
Excelchat Expert
14/06/2018 - 03:43
You can apply filter then
Excelchat Expert
14/06/2018 - 03:43
See now
User
14/06/2018 - 03:43
Or But if I apply the filter, so for example for 9s
User
14/06/2018 - 03:43
I would lose all the other Bills
User
14/06/2018 - 03:44
I want to keep all the bills, because one of the numbes in column B is a 9
Excelchat Expert
14/06/2018 - 03:44
Yes
User
14/06/2018 - 03:44
And delete all the Sams, because None of the values in column B is a 9
User
14/06/2018 - 03:44
And do this simulatenously for several values
Excelchat Expert
14/06/2018 - 03:44
You should select bth 9 and 2

Excelchat Expert
14/06/2018 - 03:46
Name to Keep
User
14/06/2018 - 03:46
Okay, once I have that list of names to keep, I can than filter based on that list?
Excelchat Expert
14/06/2018 - 03:46
