Don't use special characters in column names (I replaced Ref# with RefNo).

On Info sheet, I added a RefNo column with formula which returns matching RefNo from Files sheet. Now you can simply set the filter for this column >0 to display all entries where the matching RefNo was found - or set the filer = 0 to display all entries where matching RefNo was not found.

Thank for you reply. I am currently reviewing two other methods 1) by Batman here and 2) In the cross posted forum.


Give me a chance to look at what you propose. However, it does have to be something coded as it is part of a much larger utility where the end users just click buttons.
