After posting a thread regarding sorting issues with multiple columns (under the thread heading "Bulk Sorting" I have conceded that unless I have a sort filter on every column I will not be able to keep data in respective rows when sorting.
My new plan of attack is to insert an empty row (it will be row 13) and apply auto filter across every column (not what I wanted visually but no other option).
Is there a way that I can do this at row 13 on an almost completed sheet? I may just be dumb but I can't stop the filter applying itself to row 1. If I select the whole of row 13 the auto filter or "right click - apply filter" options aren't available. If not I could start a fresh sheet. Is there a way to copy and paste a large amount of cells with different width columns into a new worksheet?
In Excel, I have a table which tracks current issues on equipment and I simply use autofilters to narrow down my search.
The data starts at cell A10 and I want to be able to have a cell, say A1 for example, that can reference the filter option selected.
For example, if I select a filter on column A, then select ABC001 to filter on all ABC001 entries, can I reference the filter selection so that cell A1 indicates the filter I selected and displays ABC001?
I am trying to make a very easy to understand sheet for directors and want to make it quick and easy.
I would prefer to do this in a formula driven manner rather than using macros if possible.
I need to automate the attached as per the following (by not recording macro unfortunately).
Sheet one has a dump of data. First, I need to change the data format from yyyymmdd to dd/mm/yyyy. Then I need to filter for region EU and only copy the filtered data from columns A, C-D, F and the difference from columns I-J to Sheet 2. Then in Sheet 2, I need another column to calculate the difference per unit.
I have two pivot tables, both of which source the same sheet of data. Each record in the data has two fields, Region ID of person and Region ID of facility, that reference the same list of Region IDs via vlookup (it's just numbers 1-12). Either one or both can be blank. One pivot outputs counts by person Region ID, and the other, by facility Region ID.
Using a combination of nested IF statements and vlookups, I tried making a third Region ID field that could be used as a slicer to control both tables, but what I end up with is an undercount in one of the tables. The only thing that works so far to output the correct counts is having two separate slicers, the facility Region ID being the slicer for one and the person Region ID being the slicer for the other. If the end user wants to see counts for one Region ID, they have to manually set one slicer equal to the other. But what we want is just for the end user to be able to control both tables just by pushing a single number, Region IDs 1-12.
I can make one of the slicers hidden but then how do I get the hidden slicer to automatically select Region ID values equal to the nonhidden slicer? Alternatively, I could somehow program a combo box or list to control the two different slicers, then the slicers would be hidden and the user would see only the combo box/list. (I guess in either of these alternatives, I could just use a report filter instead of a slicer; either way, I still have to get items in one to automatically select based on the user's selected items in another).
FYI, some of the options I looked up involved PowerPivot, which I do not have access to. VBAs/macros are ok.
For some reason I have a worksheet that won't sort stuff by Autofilter any more. I built it as a customer database but for some reason today I just can't get the names to ascend or descend. there is something simple I can check for, I can post an empety sheet if needed but right now I can't really post a list of all my customers info.
I have a spreadsheet that i am trying to filter. I have tried auto filter but it is not working. What I have is a coumn with a part number and then 4 columns with other numbers. I am trying to pull out the part numbers that have a 1 in any of the other 4 columns. below is a sample of my spreadsheet. A number 1 may show up in column A for one part number and a number 1 may show up in column C for another part number. I need to be able to put all of the part numbers that have 1 in one of those columns together and so on. This is for cycle counts for inventory so the 4 columns represent the week that those part numbers need to be counted.
I ran into a problem with one of my macros the other day. It processes several data files given to us each week. This week, one of the files had Auto-Filter enabled. I had to manually disable auto-filter, and re-run my macro.
I tried recording this action, but wasn't able to. Is there a way to disable/enable Auto-Filter with VB?
Sub Custom3() Range("A785:BW1455").AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:="a" Range("A785:BW1455").AutoFilter Field:=3, Criteria2:Range ("N").value End Sub
Is Field 2 referring to Column B? So if I want to filter on the 9th row heading (going from left to right), my Field: = 9?
In the example above, the 1st criteria revolves filtering on dates with the goal of exceeding a certain date (i.e. > 1/1/08). Is there a way to reference the cell (which is in another workbook which is already open) in the criteria?
I have a worksheet with 24k rows. Column C Contains the State, Column D contains the city.
Right now I am looking for accounts in chicago and surrounding cities..if I use Autofilter and just look for the city on the drop down..sometimes it isn't there..but if I choose the state (IL) and THEN look at the auto filtered cities..it's there.
Is there a limit to the number of unique values that an auto-filter can show?
I have a spreadsheet created in Excel 2003. All the non-entry cells are locked. When I protected the sheet I ticked the option for the auto filter to work. The problem is when I send the spreadsheet to my user - she uses Excel 2000. The auto-filter buttons do not work for her but they do work for me. Is there anyway round this? I need to have the sheet locked (apart from the entry cells) but I also need the auto filter function. I've attached the spreadsheet I'm talking about. The protection password is set to "password"
I'm trying to Filter a list by the criteria selected in a listbox, and activated by a command button. My problem is the sort criteria. I have 11 regions, numbered 01EPS through 11EPS. Sorting by any of these criteria works just fine.
The problem is that I also want to be able to sort by ALL of the regions at once. I can do this by using a custom filter. I recorded a macro to see what the difference was, and it simply a matter of changing 01EPS to "=*EPS". However, adding that to my case list results in an error message of "Compile Error: Syntax Error".
- Column Titles on row 9, columns A - CQ - Data from Rows 10 - 46 - Totals on Row 47
I have set an Advanced Filter range of A9:CQ46. However, when I use the autofilter, it hides my totals row, row 47. That row is supposed to show the totals for the visible cells above it.
How can we program an auto filter a table linked to a cell. For example I have a table with 4 columns (A9:D20) and the 2nd row of the sheet is the filter item (A2, B2, C2 & D2).
Lets say column A has a list of months, column B has a list of names, column C is sales figure, column D is the customer. How can I filter let say for the total sales of Mr. X in the month of January.
I came across a code like this but I don't know how to apply it to my sheet. Of course this code is referring to a different table and links but I just need to learn how to apply this code to my sheet:
1) Eliminating doubles when ranking 2) Auto-filtering based on cell values
The first problem is an issue with my formula I believe (I am using a RANK + COUNTIF-1) formula (Shown in tab #2, column L of the attached document)
The second problem will need a macro, but I am not very strong with VBA. In the attached document, I am looking to be able to filter the table in tab one based on the selections I have included at the top. I was able to filter the table based on # of IDs displayed using a formula. The second filter is looking to only show the values in the table that satisfy the condition that column E must match the filter chosen (cell C3).
For example, of the filter chosen in cell C3 is "Yes", I would like the table to rank and display only those rows with a "Yes" in column E.
I'm trying to set up a macro to to run and control the AutoFilter in my Excel Spread Sheet. Essentially, all i want to be able to acheive is, instead of inputting the cryteria myself in the auto filter, i want the macro to select the cryteria from a specific cell.
Example...
Running the autofilter, normally you would select "equals or grater than" option and you would input a figure then click the "or" option then input "equals or less than" and a new figure and then click ok. This would sort the range; see the example macro...
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=10, Criteria1:=">=01/09/207", Operator:=xlOr _ , Criteria2:="<=31/09/2007" ActiveCell.Offset(774, -1).Range("A1").Select ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=-15 End Sub
What i want to beable to do is to run a macro which will do the above but instead or requiring the user to input the range cryteria for the filter it would point to a cell to get the value from.
' test1 Macro ' Macro recorded 06/08/2007 by Nigel M Bailey ' Selection.AutoFilter Field:=10, Criteria1:="> Cell A2", Operator:=xlOr _ , Criteria2:="< Cell A3" ActiveCell.Offset(774, -1).Range("A1").Select ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=-15 End Sub
In doing this i can validate the selection field and just add a search button which then will be perfect!
I have a range of data (up to 20,000 cells) that has up to 30 different entries. I need to apply a filter to this data to filter out all but 5 of these.
I have the following code which I cant figure out why isn't working for the first part. I am copying data from two sheets where the autofilter looks at blanks. The copy function on the first sheet is selecting all of the data and not the filtered data. On the second one it works fine.
I am trying to write a macro that auto filters a worksheet automatically any time a user activates the worksheet. I already have the macro in place to autofilter the worksheet and have it linked to a push button on the worksheet, but would much prefer the worksheet to auto filter automatically if possible.
I have recorded the following macros but need to fine tune them. In Field 1, I would like to be able to have criteria 1 be “=>” the value in cell “D9” instead of “160”. Likewise criteria 2 needs to be “<=” the value in cell “D10” instead of “170”. Fields 2 and 3 refer to columns “E & F” so they would be respective cell values.
