I need to filter on either of 2 items of many in a column to give a cleaner view auto filter isn't an option as it is a shared workbook with multi users so I'm creating a mirror worksheet elsewhere to give the clean view.
My solution was to have the 2 items as lookup cells, then create a data validation picker to choose either option, then point the Filter function to use that cell to define what to filter by.
This works at first, then when I change the data validation picker the results don't change.
I can't see why. Is there something really simple I've overlooked (calculation option is automatic)?
