Hi. Help needed please.

I have a 2010 workbook which tracks income and expenditure, by month, for a small voluntary organisation. I want to be able to select rows that contain the word "Capital" in a defined column and then copy the results into another preformatted tab. In practice this will identify all purchases of capital equipment and add them to the Asset Register.

Does anyone know of a way to do this, please ?

Thanks in advance.

David J

Venkat1926, thanks for the tip. How do I arrange for the results of the autofilter search to not show on the same sheet but to be pasted into the next free rows of a different tab ?
