Excel: extract the values that meet a criteria

[alfredo]

Hi every body,

I have an historical data in the same worksheet, of stocks prices . Each stock with two columns: dates and prices. For the reason that stocks are from different contries, hence holidays days are different and then some dates are not availibale.

To avoid the biasis of correlation, i want to extract only stock prices that have the same dates in another worksheet, how to do so?

Thank you very much

Ps: sorry if my english seems bizad, cause it's not my first language :-\"

1. Generate a list of dates you want
2. Use VLOOKUP() on your original data set (an additional column) to indicate whether each row has one of the given dates or not
3. use SORT or auto filter to view only those rows with valid data (and delete the rest)

Use your ingenuity to figure out how to generate the list -- it could be an exercise in itself depending on your stocks.

VLOOKUP formula =VLOOKUP(B15,D2:Q12,2,FALSE) where B15 is a date

maybe i should try vba :smt111
this could help thank you so much
