filtering a single summary task.

Default Yes I have tried it. doesn't work

I have 30 apartments with about 200 tasks each in my project.
Every apartment is a summary task with many sub tasks.
and many of the tasks are with the same name, for example:
"Installation of air conditioning"
when I try the autofilter, it filters out many of the sub tasks with the same name
or even with a close name.
I need a list of custom "one click" filters for each apartment with all of it's sub tasks,
I tried using the "nunber 1" column and filled the value from 1 to 30 for each apartment,
but it doesn't seem it's the right way to do it, and very inconvenient,
because I have to fill the value manually each time I add a task.

Is there any way to do it with the "new filter" option?



thanks,
Hillel

If the tasks are named the same and the numbers are the same, you can't use a filter. The names need to be unique in order to apply filters. If you only want to filter for one apartment, I'd use a spare text field and copy/paste the apartment names into the text field. Then filter only on those fields.

Another option is to forget filtering and use the ability to collapse all summary tasks quickly - then just expand the one you want.

Finally I used the WBS field.
It works great, even after adding a new task.

New filter>
field name>WBS test>equals value> 1.1* etc...

Thanks anyway
