Advanced Filter To Cells With Multiple Values?
Oct 23, 2012
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

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 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.

I have a data table consisting of entries; for a simple example,
Column header
Entry A
Entry B
Entry C
Entry D
Entry E
I want to apply an Advanced Filter to Exclude multiple items. Say I want to exclude entries A and B. In my Advanced Filter criteria range I entered:
Column header
A
B
But since Excel reads each line of Advanced Filter criteria as "or" - i.e. does not equal A OR does not equal B - nothing gets filtered. I know the proper way to use AND in Advanced Filter is with multiple columns, such as:
Column Header
Column Header
A
B
But my exclusions will be dynamic so I would prefer to have my criteria listed vertically instead of horizontally.

using VBA I have a control sheet which summerises variouse counts & totals of data held on a detail sheet. Bu using filters and counting the visable rows.
Statistics on 50 columns of data held in several thousand (rows) mixed around eight business regionsheld in first column.
I could determin the number of affected rows by using Tick boxes on the control sheet and applying filters to the detail records
A) checkbox indicates if I need filtering on the type of data in my detail sheet and apply the filter
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=XX, Criteria1:="Y"
B) Because I could not have more than two criteria on an autofilter column I resorted to using Advanced Filter on the column with the Business UNIT's,
I Create a range write the criteria of the records to be filtered into the range, then apply an advanced filter using that range.
Both of these work well indevidually, but I am getting inconsistant results when I mix them
using the autofilter route I can select multiple tick boxes and the output is correct, and using the advanced filter I can select any combination of business units and the output is correct, however I cant get them to work together

I have a list of Window sizes and types in Range B4:B:43. The descriptions repeat because in Column K I am listing a location for each window in a house.
Example:
B K
3050 SH 1/1 Dining Room
3050 SH 1/1 Kitchen
2030 Fixed Foyer
2030 Fixed Living Room
In the Same sheet Starting on B:45 I want a list of only Unique Window Types:
B:45 and Down:
3050 SH 1/1
2030 Fixed
I'd like this to automatically appear after populating the first list. I used an advanced filter the first time and it worked, but it is not reliable and sometimes returns duplicate values or give me an error message. Plus once again having it happen automatically as the list will change each time I access the sheet would be great.

I have many sheets which I am using the advanced filter to filter the data to a single summary sheet. Everthing works great with one exception. I have cell comments added with relevent info to to cell values. When the advanced filter is performed the cell comments are not transfered to the summary sheet with the cell values. Is there a method to filter the data to another sheet and keep the comments?

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.

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 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 have a large Excel with details of 1,000 staff
Column J1 is called: Resource Name which has 1,000+ staff other columns have corresponding Hours, Project names etc
I want an advanced filter where I select COLUMN J:J and filter this whole sheet based on say 25 names (in the format they're in) e.g
Frank, James
Wilkonson, Paul,
etc
In the Advanced Filter, Ive selected J:J as LIST RANGE, but how do I input an OR statement in the Criteria, as above i.e where name is Frank, James OR Wilksonson, Paul OR
Alternatively, I have the list of the 25 names in Sheet 2, can the Advanced Filter do a VLOOKUP then filter entire Sheet based on the names provided?

I have a file that has a column of dates. I would like to use advanced
filter to filter anything with a date that is <today()-1 but I can't seem to
make the fomula work. I can make it filter on =today()-1 but when I use the
< it doesn't calculate today's date and gives me nothing.

Basically I have set up a list on sheet1, this is now on a drop down in sheet2 and my raw data in sheet3.
I want the table in sheet2 to just display the product items I select in the dropdown but it is displaying all the raw data (although is updating when I update the raw data)
Granted I copied the code whilst researching but I'm just not quite there.
Could someone possibly look at the attached and let me know where I am going wrong. Also as you can tell I am very new to teh VB application in Excel, could anyone reccommend a good place to start learning the very basics?

Having big problems getting an advanced filter macro to work on-going (meaning again and again and again once I update the table it filters from).
Macro is as follows:
Range("A1:O1").Select
Range("A3:O65536").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CriteriaRange:=Range( _
"H1:H2"), CopyToRange:=Range("T1:AH65536"), Unique:=False
Range("A3:O65536").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CriteriaRange:=Range( _
"G1:G2"), CopyToRange:=Range("AM1:BA65536"), Unique:=False
Do I need to specify the sheet that this filter should occur on? If so could someone indicate how I would get that into the macro?

I have a worksheet that conatins multiple columns that are populated from a sql query.One column is a parts list.This has 1705 rows.
I have another worksheet that contains a list of parts in one column.This list is varying in row length.
I want to be able to produce a list that only contains matching data , including () around parts and if not too difficult an indication of data that is not in first list but is in second list.
When I do an advanced filter using the second list as the criteria i am not recieving all of the data from the filter , ie in the first list there is parts in (1234XYZ ) but in the second list the part is 1234XYZ , this part is not being resulted in the advanced filter unless I put brackets around the part in the second list . There is no way of knowing which part is in brackets in the first list.

I have a huge list (over 900,000 rows) of text codes (e.g. ABC-12345) on Column A Spreadsheet 1 and would like to remove the ones that are not included in Column A Spreadsheet 2.
I changed all of the text on Column A Spreadsheet 2 to have the in front of it (e.g. ABC-1234) and tried to run the advanced filter but it does nothing.

I need to lookup and concatenate all the header values where the value in the corresponding row equals a certain value. For example, column D, has the column header value if the cell values equals "X". Likewise column E has the column header value if the cell values equals "Y". I have too many columns (this is just a simplified version) to use nested if statements.
resource1resource2resource3 XResources YResources
Jeff X resource2
John X X resource2 resource3
Jim Y resource1
I'm not an excel newbie, but I keep thinking there must be a simple solution that I am missing.

I am trying to create a function using vba and the advanced filter function.
The spreadsheet I am using changes from week to week so it can have different amounts of columns and also rows.
This is my code.
Sub FilterCGML()
Dim rngToFilter As Range
Dim rngFilterCriteria As Range
Dim LastRow As Long, LastCol As Integer
With Sheets("Main FTE")
Range("b2000").Value = "Cost Code"
Range("b2001").Value = "5*"
It works ok if I have values in columns A:X but if for example I only have information in A:S I get a runtime error.
I know how to find the last column and last row by using
LastRow = ActiveSheet.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
LastCol = Range("IV1").End(xlToLeft).Column
But I don't know how to modify my code to use these.

I want to create an advanced filter criteria along the lines of
=AND(col1>begindate,col1<endate)
where 'col1' is the title in the cells at the head of the appropriate columns in the data range (B1), criteria range(F1) and extract area range (I1), and 'begindate' and 'enddate' are named single cells.
Why doesnt this work?
