Summary based on field indentifier?

[Mark Ivey]

I am wondering if someone may have an easy solution to help me create a
summary worksheet according to a special field identifier...

Here is the nuts and bolts:

I have a main worksheet with parts information:

A B C
1 Gear 1287 Gear for shaft A
2 Screw 22844 Screw for shaft A
3 Locking pin 2294 Locking pin for shaft B
4 Flange assy. 55499 Entire assembly for shaft A

Now what I would like to do is add a column and use something like an "x" in
it for the rows I want copied to a summary-like worksheet:

A B C
D
1 Gear 1287 Gear for shaft A
x
2 Screw 22844 Screw for shaft A
x
3 Locking pin 2294 Locking pin for shaft B
4 Flange assy. 55499 Entire assembly for shaft A
x

For this given range, I would like to build a summary worksheet with "x" as
the special identifier to copy it over. Does anyone have something like this
put back in their toolbox? I would be most appreciative.

Many thanks in advance...

Here is the only thing I have come up with so far, but I would like a better
solution to copy over only the fields with an "x". In other words, I would
like to see if anyone has a better solution...

CharacterToDelete Then
Rng.Item(ix).EntireRow.Delete
End If
Next

main = "Main"
Xs = "Xs"
Os = "Os"

Sheets.Add
ActiveSheet.Name = Xs
Sheets(main).Select
Cells.Select
Selection.Copy

Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
DeleteRowsByChar ("")

ActiveSheet.Paste
DeleteRowsByChar ("x")
Range("A1").Select

End Sub

I would try to keep the data in one worksheet.

You could still use the indicator column, but then use Data|filter|autofilter to
show (or hide) the rows you want.

I would think that this would make the summary much easier to implement and
change if/when there are updates.

But if you wanted, you could do the same thing (indicator column and
data|filter|autofilter) and then copy the visible rows to a new summary
worksheet.

Record a macro when you do it manually and you'll have the code.

That is actually a much cleaner approach. Thank you very much for the
advice...
