Create Dynamic Excel Filter - Extract data as you type

In this excel tutorial video, learn how to create a DYNAMIC EXCEL FILTER - which extracts data as you type.

This dynamic Excel filter allows you to type the filter text in a text box and instantly extracts the records as you type in the search bar.

While Excel already has a filter and advanced filter functionalities, these are not dynamic. Which means that you will have to specify the criteria and filter, and then change the criteria and filter again.

This dynamic Excel filter, on the other hand, filters the data as soon as you change the text in the search box.

This Dynamic Excel filter can be created in 3 steps:
-- Getting a unique list of items (countries in this case). This would be used in creating the drop-down list.
-- Creating the search box. Here I have used a Combo Box (ActiveX Control).
-- Setting the Data. Here I would use three helper columns with formulas to extract the matching data.

You can use this dynamic Excel filter when you have a huge dataset and you want to quickly filter it by entering the text. Since this is dynamic, you can remove the existing filter by simply deleting the text in the text box and type something else to filter based on it.

While this advanced dynamic Excel filter works great with a small dataset, you may find that it tends to get a bit slow when you have large data sets. This is because it uses formulas and helper columns which can lead to slow processing time and data analysis.
