I have a variable numbers of data elements for each day, and I'd like to
hide all but the last of each day (or export only the last-of-day values);
is there an easy way?
Example data:
row | date | reading number | value | ...
1 | 7/1/2011 | 1 | 3
2 | 7/2/2011 | 1 | 6
3 | 7/2/2011 | 2 | 7
4 | 7/2/2011 | 3 | 5
5 | 7/4/2011 | 1 | 4
6 | 7/5/2011 | 1 | 5
7 | 7/5/2011 | 2 | 6
So I'd like to extract:
1 | 7/1/2011 | 1 | 3
4 | 7/2/2011 | 3 | 5
5 | 7/4/2011 | 1 | 4
7 | 7/5/2011 | 2 | 6
Is there a way to use conditional formatting to hide a row, based on a test
of the reading number of the current row compared to the reading number of
the next row?
Hi Wayne,
Conditional formatting just changes the look. Not sure it can be used to
hide data.
Create an extra column after reading row. Put formula that compares next
rows reading number with current rows reading number, insert a value -
e.g. 'END', to represent end of day - then use autofilter to hide the
data you don't want to see.
The formula would look something like this...
=IF(CurrentRowReadingNumber > NextRowReadingNumber, "END", "")
