What will be desired result for your sample, do you need only sorting or filtering as well?

Company Company Company
Town Town Town
Company Company Company
Town Town Town
Company Company Company
Town Town Town

SergeiBaklan I would like the end result to be a list of all companies that have each product that I can pull into word to create a directory that is sorted by product (showing each company that has it). I hope that makes sense..

Still not clear. It will be separate table like
product 1 | company 1 | company 3
product 2 | company 2 | company 3
etc
or
you select the product from drop-down list and list of all companies will be generated in one column;
or
something else

The problem is that each company's info., including it's town, is spread across random columns and I need to be able to sort/filter all companies that have a particular value/product regardless of which column that value/product sits in.
So I want to pull all companies that have Product 1 and create a list that shows Product 1 and all Companies that have Product 1 (in their random columns), and I need to have all of the company's corresponding states with them.
End result in word would be:
Product 1
Company & State
Company & State
The town has to stay with the state.
