I am trying to find all of the rows that have a specific entry in column B, any entry in column C and A is blank in a spreadsheet that is about 63,00 lines long. Unfortunately I can not sort to get the blanks out because of a formula issue.

have you tried using plain old autofilter ??

Yes but when found it says that the feild is too Complex so I can't copy or cut the info.

By the way, Thanks for helping me!
 
The help file gives some examples of advanced filter criteria which points the way to something like this for the criteria range (in E1:G2): (You didn't provide us with the column headers so I am using AAA, BBB and CCC. You need to replace with the actual column headers you are using:
[blue]
Code:
E1: 
F1: 'BBB
G1:
E2: =A2=""
F2: 'ACCT
G2: =C2<>&quot;&quot;
[/color]

Note that E1 and G1 are blank.
 
Zathras,

Thanks, I will try this as soon as I get a chance.
