    Multiple filters

    Gday all,
    Not sure if this is in the right spot, but would love some help. Not sure if it's possible, but I would love to filter my spreadsheet in the following way.
    I have 7 columns, but I want to sort by 3 of those in a particular order.
    The 3 columns are Due Date, Completion Date and Completed (as a %)
    Ideally i would like to have stuff that isn't 100% sorted by due date. Once 100% complete ordered by completion date. But I would also like completed tasks to go below incomplete.
    I know this sounds tricky, but I think i could do it with a combination of filtering and Conditional formatting perhaps?

    You could do this by adding an extra column to check if items are complete. If the % complete is in G2 put =G2=1 in H2 and copy it down. This will give a list of TRUE and FALSE. You can sort by this new column , then by Completion Date, then Due Date.

    Hi Just and welcome to the forum,

    I believe Excel 2003 has got you covered with a method to do this.

    Read http://www.contextures.com/xlSort01.html to see if the 3 column sort isn't what you need.
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.
