    Hi @hrana4375 

     

    As of now no in-built features in PAD to filter data in spreadsheet.

     

    Here are alternative options:

    #1. Write a macro that filters this data and call this macro from PAD - Easiest

     

    #2. Use "Read from Excel Worksheet" to read the data into a datatable and then loop through the table. Whenever a value is found that matches the filter criteria(s), then read that row from the table and write to another worksheet - Going to be time taking due to the looping particularly if there are large number of records. Would not recommend.

     

    #3. Using Sendkeys on the Excel filter menus and buttons - should be the last resort. Sendkeys not always reliable.

    Hi

    You can use Power Query too. 

    We don't know your all process so it's difficult to help you.

    Is your filter always the same?

     

    I don't think PAD is the best choice.
