If you have a table of data, say:

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500, align: center"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Name[/TD]
[TD]Age[/TD]
[TD]Gender[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]John Smith[/TD]
[TD]45[/TD]
[TD]Male[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Jane Smith[/TD]
[TD]44[/TD]
[TD]Female[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

To which you apply an advanced filter which returns cells with ‘Male’ in the Gender field, is it then possible to assign a name to that filter i.e. return a separate column which will say ‘Men’ for all rows containing ‘Male’?

That would essentially give you mapping for the various filters so that Males would be Men and Females would be Women in this scenario. Is it possible to do that without having that specific mapped column in your source data?
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Have a look at Custom View (see View tab)

It allows you to save many different views of your data
- save a view with male filter
- save a view with female filter

Do you have a gender column somewhere?

Just include that column in the sort then. ;)

Also, for future reference, please note the forum rule on cross-posting and comply with it. Thanks.
