If false, ignore and skip to next row

[earlution]

I have a large table of data and I need to create sub-tables that have the same columns, but a subset of the data based upon whether a certain value appears in the first column.

In the supplied workbook I have created some sample data. I would like to create subtables for based on the value in column A.

E.g. I would like a sub-table with all the rows where the value in column A is '9T'.

1. Convert your Range into a Table. CTL +T
2. When the table is created, it sets Filtering to Automatic
3. Click on the Down Arrow in the Column Header of Column A
4. Unselect All and reselect 9T
5. Highlight the filtered Table and Copy
6. On a new sheet Paste.
7. Back on the original, click on the drop down and select All
8. Repeat as necessary

If you wish to automate this with either Power Query or VBA then advise further.

Hi Alan.

I would like to do this with functions - if possible, as I want the sub-tables to be dynamic. The value in column A can change from time-to-time and I don't want to have to generate new tables everytime they do.

Something along the lines of:

Which I have tried to apply to my situation, but cannot get it to work - I just don't understand the functions and parameters enough.

I have supplied another solution for you using Power Query, which is called Get and Transform in your version of Excel. The attached file has a drop down (parameter) and based upon the selection it will filter the results.

In the attached file
Click on any cell in the new table
On the Data Tab, click on Queries & Connections
In the right window, double click to open Query
Review PQ steps

M-code basics:
- "let" is the start of a query
- "in" is the closing of a query
- each transformation step sits in between those 2 lines
- each step line is ended by a comma, except the last one
- "Source" is always the first step (Source Data)
- After "in" you have the last step referenced
