Saving filters as queries
If a filter takes more than a few minutes to set up and you are likely to want to use it
again, you might want to save it as a query. Then you can run the query to display the
filtered results at any time.
To save a filter as a query:
1
On the
Home
tab, in the
Sort & Filter
group, click the
Advanced Filter Options
button and then click
Advanced Filter/Sort
.
2
In the
Sort & Filter
group, click the
Advanced Filter Options
button again, and
then click
Save As Query
.
