Advanced Filter To Return Rows W/blank Column
Mar 25, 2009
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)

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 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!)

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 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.

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?

I have been trying to sort an excel spreadsheet to no avail. I have read mutliple posts and searched online but I can not find a solution. This is what I have. I have three columns of data. column A is an account name. column b has some insurance coverage info and may have multiple rows that go with column A. Column C has the effective date of the coverages in column B. I want to sort column A in alphabetical order but when I have tried it does not keep column B and C together with column A.
Column A Column B Column C
company 1 General Liab 5/1/14-15
Workers Comp 2/1/13-14
company 2 workers comp 2/1/13-14
company 3 crime 5/5/14-15
D&O 5/5/14-15
Fee 4/15/14-15

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 two spreadsheets. Spreadsheet B reads from the master. No entries are made on spreadsheet B, it is visual only. Changes are made only on the master. I want to create a Macro where all blank lines are filtered out automatically on spreadsheet B, in effect only lines with values are displayed.
Once a new task is created, the details are typed into the master spreadsheet and spreadsheet B, located in another building, is automatically updated to display the details. Once the task is completed which can be seconds, minutes or hours later, an "x" is placed in column A of the master. I have formulated spreadsheet B is "" all rows where "x" is listed in the master. Towards the end of the day however, I can have 50 visable entries on spreadsheet B spread over 500 rows.
I want spreadsheet B to display only active tasks from the top of the page down. I currently have those that read the spreadsheet filter out blank rows. Because tasks can be updated at a rate of 10 - 15 per minute with new tasks and the completion of old, I want to eliminate the need for our employees to have to filter themselves.

I have a list of about 200 companies in column a. Columns B, C, D, E, etc. list revenues for 2005, 2006, 2007, etc. The problem is not all of the years have values. Is there a way to filter out the companies that have a blank cell for any of the years? For example, if company 1 has a blank in 2007 can I filter it out, even if all of the rest of the revenues are filled in?

i have created a spreadsheet to simplify our work flow, I am stuck on what is probably the easiest of the commands.
basically have rows dedicated to specific codes and the colums represent values relating to each code, all codes have a different set of values, the attached example only has a few variables but the actual worksheet will have several hundred.
the idea is the user will input the code they wish to get details on in A2 and then press the command button and it will then show (as per the after sheet in the attachment) just the relevant information for that code, so filter the code in column A and hide the columns which hold no value.
where i am getting stuck is I am not sure the best way to proceed, is it best to create the macro button to do the filter and hide or is there a better way using vlookup and a pop up window asking for the relevantcode to be inputted to to retrive the information, again understand there will be hundreds of colums and hundreds of rows and the values may be 20 or 30 colums apart for some of the Codes so this simplification is really saving the user a lot of time.

I have tried and tried to get the VBA code working that will tell me the number of visible rows in an autofiltered set of data, but the result I seem to be getting is always "1". Below is the most simple form of the code that I am using (it is based on previous posts and tutorials on this site). (I have also attached a workbook with sample data and the code)
With ActiveSheet
Set rnData = .UsedRange
With rnData
. AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="5"
.Select 'demonstrate that the rnData range is valid
lcount = .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Rows.Count
End With
End With

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?

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 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.

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.
