Advanced Filter: Exclude Blank/Empty Cells Criteria
Sep 11, 2006
Im using an advanced filter that uses the following criteria
Days Late Note(s) Note(s)
>90 <>*agreement* <>*QTR*
This shows all data over 90 that do not incl the words agreement or QTR in a column marked Note(s).
My problem is that I do not want to show records that are Null in the Note(s) column.
Note(s)
<> Does not work (possibly because it is text and not Numbers)
as this does work if used on records that contain numbers.

I cannot work out the syntax to run an advanced filter for all Non-Blank Columns! I have attached an example sheet, and you can see my syntax in cell D4. I am looking to bring through a list of all line that are both Status= "NOT QUOTED YET" and Project Name= NOT Blank. Unfortunatley, the Status Row will be set as NOT QUOTED YET when there is no project name enetered, hence the problem.

I found a great bit of Advanced Filter code that works great, and fixed a problem of clearing a cell breaking the filter.
But if I want to increase the criteria from 1 row to 2, so you can start to include And , Or operations, it breaks the filter. Even an attempt at a manual one fails, until you put the criteria range back down to one row, then it's fine again.
I've tried changing the Target Row to >2 but that didn't work. how to make the criteria range bigger, and no problems of breakage if you clear the cells? It makes for a very useful automated Advanced Filter.
Here's the code :
[Code] .....
Database = the named area of raw data.
DATA is the name of the raw data worksheet
The criteria range should be AZ1:BC3, but of course royally breaks it...

I am struggling to get Excel Advanced Filter to work on a database, where not every field is populated. The problem I am experiencing is that Excel is treating a blank field as a criteria. When I run the Advanced Filter, any fields in the database that are not populated are filtered out of the results.
To try and illustrate the problem with a simple example: I have a database with two filter criteria: TYPE and CATEGORY. If I filter on type, it returns 100 results [correct]. If I filter on category, it returns 50 results, which is incorrect, as it should be 70. The reason it is returning an incorrect result is because it is treating the unpopulated/blank fields under TYPE as a criteria.
I have set up my criteria table with the below Boolean formulas: if the result of the formula is true (ie if it is blank), it returns "" and if it is false, it returns the selection.
=IF(ISBLANK(type),"",type)
Frustratingly, Excel Advanced Filter still treats the result of this formula as a criteria. So when I run the procedure, with only CATEGORY selected, all blank fields under the TYPE are filtered out of the results. The only way to get the Advanced Filter to produce the correct result is to delete the formula under TYPE from the criteria table - which of course defeats the object!
My intention is to incorporate the Advanced Filter into a VBA procedure, where the user will be able to select criteria under TYPE and CATEGORY from drop down menus.
I can think of only three possible solutions to the problem:
1. Ensure there are no blanks in the database (not really practical as it is not always possible to apply type or category)
2. Tweak the formula so that the Advanced Filter will not treat "" as a criteria
3. Write a VBA procedure, where the selections are written each time to the criteria table when the code is run (hoping to avoid this!)

This is a sort-of bizarre query I have.
I have a large array of data which I'm filtering out and copying to a new spreadsheet using an advanced filter. I have 2 filter criteria, one works... the other doesn't.
The second criteria is supposed to filter out rows that have blank cells in column C or D. I tried various things:
a. at first I tried following:
Column header: Name |Surname
Criteria: <>"" |<>""
b. since it didn't work I tried that
Column header: Name |Surname
Criteria: =<>""""" |=<>"""""
I also tried <>0 and <>null with absolutely no joy.
c. once I figured out that doesn't work either, I tried:
Column header: (empty)
Criteria: =OR(NOT(ISBLANK(C2)),NOT(ISBLANK(D2)))
now, the last one did have some effect, most of the empty-celled rows have been filtered out. However the filter persistently picks up ONE row that has blanks in column C2 and D2. I checked the data to check if the cell is really blank and it's as blank as it gets.
Obviously, I need help. It's been 3 days and I still can't figure out what's wrong with my filter. Is there a way of fool proofing the criteria, so that it will filter out all cells that are or appear to blank?

I have a worksheet which shows multiple tests and whether they are completed or not[code]Test 1 Person1 Test 2 Person2 Test 3...Person12. I want to search for a specific test, e.g. pH which could be in any of the "Test" columns but only return it if it is not completed. The "Person" columns will be blank if no one completed the test.
I set up the Advanced Filter criteria with all the appropriately labeled columns and for the Person columns, I put ="" but it is returning all rows which have pH in them whether they are completed or not. What should I be putting in the Person columns of the criteria to only return those rows which have the pH test but it is not completed. I attached an example of the criteria range and the filter window to help clarify (the full spreadsheet is huge)

Can I use vba advancedfilter to work with more than one criteria?
I presently have one range designated. At the top cell has the field, or column, header name being "Student", then followed by a list of 6 people, located in Sheets("Extract").Range("A1:A7"), which is then extracted from Sheets("Complete").Range("tblPrimary[#ALL]") to Sheets("Extract").Range("AA1") as in:
[Code] ......
I want to also be able to filter out a specific month, whose field/column name just happens to be "Month", but I suspect I will need to change it to "InfoMonth" or the like to avoid the probable key word of "Month"...
The months are numerical in those fields - 1 through 12.
Can I add to the present filtering line or do I need to then create an additional filter?

I'm trying to use an advanced filter to filter a large data set using several parameters. I had this worked out before but there have been some parameters added that have thrown my filter off balance and I'm struggling getting it back.
Here's the criteria I need to filter
Column 1:
85
Column 2:
3
Column 3:
BU 1
BU 2
BU 3
BU 4
Column 4:
BA 1
BA 2
BA 3
BA 4
BA 5
BA 6
BA 7
Since I have an uneven list of criteria, I'm struggling to figure out the layout with the 'AND' condition. I know I can copy the 85 and 3 figures to each line but when I have 4 figures in column 3 and 7 figures in column 4, how can I create the 'AND' condition for all these criteria?

I have a list of farmers in A1:A1000 with the types of livestock they keep in col B, delimited with commas and spaces e.g:
Col A Col B
Name Animals
Smith Cows, Pigs, Sheep, Horses
Jones Sheep, Pigs, Chickens, Geese, Alpaccas
Price Cows, Sheep, Pigs, Chickens, Rabbits
Williams Cows, Chickens, Horses, Alpaccas, Pigs
I need to be able to filter this list using up to 3 criteria, e.g. Filter all farmers with Cows, AND Sheep, AND Pigs. Applying this to the data above would show Smith and Price.
The user would need to enter the criteria somewhere, preferably in 3 cells, let's say D1, D2, & D3. I reckon I need to use Advanced Filter, but not sure how to do it with all the animal types to be filtered being in one column.

as u can see on picture I have some data and i want it to filter with "debet" and "credit",while debet can be zero or number x when in the same time credit can be zero or the same number x so when entering number x meaning e.g. 500 i get to rows
first
debet = 0 and credit = 500
second
debet = 500 and credit = 0
while running advanced filter i was getting nothing because i couldn't write what i needed

When doing advanced filter in VBA, is there a way to set the criteriarange, without having actual cells on a worksheet with the criteria in?
I've tried criteriarange:=Array("Currency", ws.Name), but it didn't like it.

I'd like to ask if there is anyway to use an advanced criteria with a NOT EQUAL operator.
I have a list that contains about 50 different data values that I want to filter but I want to restrict the list to not contain four different data items. Clearly, autofilter did not work as I can only specify two conditions in the custom filter. I want to use advanced filter instead but this only tests for equality.

I think to run one report. First sheet put options and copy to data page as criteria, and run advanced filter, it only shows heading.
VB:
Sheets("Report").Select
Range("23:350").Delete
Sheets("Details").Select
Range("w8:ae9").Copy
Range("w12").Select

I have a worksheet with 6000 rows (W1), and another with 2500 rows (W2).
I need to check whether the values of W2 are found in the second column of W1. As in if(iserror(search(valuex,worksheet2!B2)),"",A2) ---> resulting in something like:
If the value is found in the cell B2 of column B on W1, then return its reference which you find in A2, otherwise leave a blank.
I need to check all 2500 values in all 6000 rows.
I know for sure that I will have limited hits (max of 200) so I would like to create a list on W2 (the values) where I check if they are found in W1 and return only the 'hits'. I would like to filter out the blanks.
YOu can filter the blanks, I know, but you need to have a 'full' version (I thought) with all the blanks and the hits and then and only then you can filter.
But is there a way how I can use the advanced filter, with a criteria range using a function. Something like: criteria range --> if(iserror(search(valuex,worksheet2!B2)),"",A2) is not equal to "".

attached is a spreadsheet effectively replicating a criteria box I’m using to do an advanced filter on a large amount of data (5000+ lines). The criteria can be anywhere from 1 to 7 different lines. What I’m trying to achieve is code that will look at the specified criteria box, determine how many rows of criteria actually exist, and then use that code to perform the advanced filter function on the data.
Below is the code I’ve put together so far. The problem is that this code can only determine that there are 7 total rows of criteria to use, and not the exact number of rows of criteria. For instance, say I only wanted to use 2 rows of criteria, I’m hoping the macro would only use those 2 rows instead of picking up all 7 rows.
See criteria box on spreadsheet for example. In this particular example, I’m wanting the macro to only use B49:I51 as criteria. The ideal solution would be for the macro to look at the criteria box and determine the last row used that is not filled with “1”s. Does anybody have any thoughts on ways to tweak my code to get it to achieve this?
Sub RunDynamicSelection_Click()
Dim wsSheetDS As Worksheet
Dim wsSheetRS
Set wsSheetDS = Worksheets("DataSheet")
Set wsSheetRS = Worksheets("ReportSelection")
With wsSheetDS
.AutoFilterMode = False
With wsSheetDS. Range(("A4:N4"), wsSheetDS.UsedRange.Rows(Worksheets("DataSheet") _
.UsedRange.Rows.Count)).AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterInPlace, CriteriaRange:= _....................

At work, I have a workbook with multiple tabs that contain lists. Each tab has a corresponding Pivot Table.
There is a business requirement that a user can specify a name, which filters the data. For the sake of simplicity use this for an example
Column Headers: First_Name ; Last_Name; Age
Row 1: Johnny; Bravo; 29
Row 2: Shane; Falco; 34
Row 3; Bobby; Shane; 15
The user specifies "Shane" as the filter in another pre-determined Cell (D1). Using advanced criteria, I need to find all rows that have Shane in either First_Name or Last_Name. The only way I know how to do that is inserting two rows and adding criteria:
First_Name ; Last_Name; Age
=D1; ;
;=D1;
Johnny; Bravo; 29
Shane; Falco; 34
Bobby; Shane; 15
With Criteria Range = "A1:B3"
This is problematic because my Pivot tables now include 5 rows of data.

I have a advanced filter that works pretty much close to how I want it to. However I would like it to either cancel the new filter or copy everything if it finds 0 matches.
If the copied location is blank it breaks my sheet. So I need to find a way for it to never be blank, either by canceling it, copying everything, or finding some other way I haven't thought of.
Also for some reason my Advanced Filter does NOT Ignore blank "OR" cells. If I place a word in the top cell, then leave the bottom blank, it searches for the top cell or anything and I end up with everything. Its quite frustrating.

I'm working with many rows of data (500,000+) and many columns. To simplify my question, I'm going to provide a simple example using made up numbers and only the columns I'm concerned with.
BillT Doc.ItemQty
F11231012.00
F2123205.00
S1123105.00
RE321202.00
F2321108.00
F2321201.00
RE321203.00
RE999808.00
F27771001.00
RE7771001.00
I am trying to remove the docs that have two Bill types that cancel each other out, where the qtys match and highlight the rows where the qtys don't match. The macro needs to have the positive and negative bill types programatically entered, where for example F1 and F2 are positive and S1 and RE are negative. Keep in mind the data may not necessarily be in order as it is above.
So for example with data above, the rows for doc 777 would be removed completely because the item numbers are the same, the qty is the same, and the bill types oppose each other. Doc 123 and Item 10 lines should be highlighted since their bill types are opposed bu their qtys don't match.
I hope this makes sense. I tired to achieve this using multiple loops and arrays, but ran out of memory when working with the entire set of data. I'm assuming their must be a better way to do this, I'm hoping some of the intelligent individuals here will be able to point in the right direction.

I'm trying to set up a a spreadsheet where a user can enter search terms to filter a list of data. I'm using Advanced Filter so I can use wildcards and operators (>, < etc) and copying the results to a "results" sheet.
My problem is that some of the data entries have multiple values associated with them and this makes the filters values act funny. I have come up with two ways of setting out the list so far but both have faults:
Option 1: Use Alt+Enter to separate multiple values ie:
Description
Asset #
Site
Product Type
Speed
Comments
[Code] ....
I can filter this table for machines with a speed of 1000 using the advanced filter parameters:
Description
Asset #
Site
Product Type
Speed
1000
*1000
1000*
The user gives an input of "1000" and the spreadsheet automatically adds the wildcard * on the two rows below so that the advanced filter looks for Speed = 1000 OR *1000 OR 1000* (this collects the speeds 15001000 and 1000800) I would get this as a result:
Description
Asset #
Site
Product Type
Speed
Comments
[Code] ....
The Problem: I can't think of a way to use operators like > or

I have a scenario where I have a rolling list of sales figures which get added to each week that passes.
I need a formula that will calculate the last 5 weeks of sales and generate an average - which I think I have an idea how to do.
The sticking point is that so as not to skew the averages, when there has been an exceptionally busy or quiet day for a reason we know about I exclude the sales from that week.
This then interferes with the averages as it either takes it as a zero and lowers it or seems to stop formulas from working.
So to summarise:
Average of last 5 weeks sales
Excluding any blanks
Dynamic enough to always pick up the last 5 values in the list (i.e. the last 5 weeks)

I am writing a formula for finding a maximum out of three average values. The cells that will be populated with data are A1 to A5; B1 to B5; C1 to C5. The final cell where I want to write the formula needs to show the maximum of the three averages (average of data in each row).
The difficulty is that sometimes only the A and B rows are populated (and sometime only A row is populated) and if B and/or C are blank, the formula fails and shows "#DIV/0!".
How can I write so that if C is blank, then evaluate only A and B data. And If both B and C are blank, then just display the average of row A.

I have an array formula that calculates the average of numbers between two dates:
{=AVERAGE(IF('Date Range'!$B:$B>$H$4,IF('Date Range'!$B:$B<=$B$3,'Numbers to Sum'!$C:$C)))*100}
The start date is the day after the date in H4 and the end date is in cell B3. The dates are in column B and the numbers to sum associated with these dates are in column C.
Some of the cells in column C are blank and my formula is taking these blanks into account in calculating the average, while I would prefer not to count them in the calculation.
Can someone please suggest how I could amend the formula above to accommodate this?

The data Im using this on will have blank cells as the bottom rows but they will contain formulas that blank the cells based on ISNA() conditions,
How do I get the above code to only select cells with visible data and ignore those that are blank but contain formulas.
