Making one list from other data using a lookup

2

I have 2 columns of data in an excel sheet - Column A:A is an id number, and column B:B is a binary 1/0 response. I have > 1, 000 rows of data.

Example

0001     1
0002     0 
0003     1 
0004     0

On a new sheet in the same workbook I would like to find and list the ID number of everyone whose binary response is 0.

Using the example above, the list I want to populate would be:

0002
0004

How do I do this?

2Why not use a filter? Or pivot table? – Raystafarian – 2015-09-16T16:32:51.873

Have you tried anything yet? If so, what? – CharlieRB – 2015-09-16T19:46:24.457

Using @Raystafarian's hint, I would copy all the cells to a new sheet and apply a filter to column B to only select value 0.

1Or the reverse: filter in place, copy the results to the new sheet, then remove the filter. – Excellll – 2015-09-16T21:13:46.153

Haha thanks everyone; I was completely over-thinking it and trying to use formulae (match; index etc.). Filtering, copying and pasting will work fine! – eagerbeaver – 2015-09-17T08:46:52.733

Out of interest though - does anyone know a way to do it with formulae? – eagerbeaver – 2015-09-17T08:47:24.897
