Automatic Auto Filtering: Filter The List And Have A Box For Users To Type In Text
Aug 25, 2006
I have a list of a couple of thousand (and more) individual items. I want to filter the list and have a box for users to type in text (there are no numbers) and the results will be seen automatically reducing in number as more text is entered. (Similar to the Windows HELP files )
eg, typing A (or a) will show all entries beginning with A (without pressing
"Enter" or similar
typing AB will show only entries beinning with AB
typing ABO will show .........I guess you will understand the idea.
I have tried various forms of Filter - Auto and advanced - but still cannot get the spreadsheet to do what I want. Unless I am not doing the Autofilter (or Advanced filter) correctly (I am still a relative beginner!) I still cannot find a way of simply adding letters to a cell or input box and the filtering takes place 'automatically' as the letters are added.

I need to filter a list without the use of the Auto Filter or arrays. I'm importing the list into Xcelsius which doesn't support these functions. I will need to do the filtering with functions.

I have a large list of data records, 600+, and would like to use List Validation but find EXCEL's default Validation not appropriate for such long lists. What would be perfect is similar to what you get in Access, when you type in part of the record string required, a drop-down list appears and shows you the record entries that have that string within them and not necessarily in character order, quickly wittling down to the few records that apply and then use your arrow keys to move and select the correct record, etc. Example, I own a salon, and many shampoo ranges have many similar products:
Superstar
Superstar Blow Dry Lotion
Superstar Leave In Conditioner
Superstar Shampoo
Superstar Conditioner...........

As shown in the below image. I have some data from A13 to I 13. Currently if I put the cursor on A13 and press DELETE button then all the formatting from A13 to I13 goes off. But the data still remain there.
Is it possible then when I press DELETE the content of A13 then all the data from B13 to I13 should also get deleted ?

From a table like the one here, how can I generate a list (without spaces) of all the names only? Perhaps filtering by "Mr","Miss","Dr" or something? The result I'm after would be a column on a new sheet that ran:
Mr James
Mrs Milly
Dr McAllister
Miss Aujard
Mr Barker
Mrs Stanley

why the Advanced Filter works in the macro but not in the UDF?
Code:
Public Function strUniqueVal(rng As Range) 'rng variable must include sheet name
Dim c As Range
rng.AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterInPlace, Unique:=True

Is it possible to use an advance filter to detect blank cells? Or can the criteria be set to detect all cells that don't contain a letter e.g. "Y"?

I am running Excel 2003.
In my Excel file, I have one worksheet with about 36 columns and 2500 rows of data.
I am looking for a way to create an automatic filter which will look at one column and filter out 13 specific phrases, placing the entire rows which contain the phrases in a new worksheet in the same file. Every row that does not contain one of the phrases I would like to place in another new worksheet in the same file.
I want to run this macro/add-in on multiple files.

I'm trying to write one macro that filters a set of data based on 2 criteria and then automatically sorts the filtered data by date. The filter works fine but when I then try to write code that handles the automatic sort, I get the following message when I run the macro: "Run-Time Error 1004: the sort reference is not valid. Make sure that it's within the data you want to sort, and the first Sort By box isn't the same or blank."
I realize it would only take one or two more clicks to sort this data manully after the macro is run, but the lazy person in me is trying to eliminate this step. Does anybody have any suggestions as to why the sort is not working? I parsed basic sorting code, but it hasn't worked. The other part of this that is causing me trouble is that the number of filtered rows will vary, so I'm only needing to sort the visible range.

I'm wanting to filter a set of data by inputting in to a cell. And it works perfectly...
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If (Intersect(Target, Range("B4")) Is Nothing) _
Then
Exit Sub
End If
Cells.AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:="=" & Range("B4")
End Sub
The only thing is I now need is for the code to clear the filter if the cell (B4) is blank. It currently filters out all the data if the cell is blank.

I'm looping through a sheet filtering it by different values. As of now I just have the same steps repeated 13 times. I want to do a loop instead. So my question is, how do I change the criteria of the filter? I want to perform the specific functions for each JD1 through JD13
Sub Full_S_BreakdownWIP()
jd1 = "FSC"
jd2 = "SA"
jd3 = "SC"
jd4 = "OA"
jd5 = "CA"
jd6 = "DC"
jd7 = "GCA"
jd8 = "PAR"
jd9 = "LG"
jd10 = "RA"
jd11 = "DM"
jd12 = "SR"
jd13 = "USA"
For i = 1 To 13................

I have a large amount of student demographic, course, and class data on an
Excel worksheet for an entire school district. The ethnic code for each
student is a single alpha character. I need to find a way to get a total for
each ethnic code in each course when filtering by each course.
Each column of data has a header and I am using the Auto-filter feature for
filtering. Is there a way that the COUNTIF function can be set up for each
ethnic code so that it will count from the filtered data? If not, is there
any other function, or nested functions, that will work?

I have a list of customers in listbox1 (the text values of which come from a spreadsheet), that I want to refine as I type in textbox1. I'm not sure if it's possilbe, but I would like it to work similar to the itunes search (if you're familiar with it) where it searchs for any occurance of the text within the list as opposed to just searching for the letters at the beginning of the word.

In the attached spreadsheet, I have a limit value which is used to set the color of other cells based on their values.
So if the value is greater than limit, the color is red.
When I change the limit, I do see the changes in color.
However, I also want to show only the red values.

I need a function/macro that will find all rows that have a specified value in column A and extract selected columns to a new spreadsheet. More, I need it to do it for every value in column A.
I would also like it to skip creation of new worksheet if value in selected row and column is null.*
I've been trying to combat this problem with advanced filters, which helped, but due to size of the data and range of values in column A it takes an entire day to process manually. Because the data is exported to another program after it's processed, it can't stay in the same sheet, also, linking back to the original sheet doesn't work because the data changes all the time.

In my spreadsheet below I want to be able to enter a sales number for January, the value of cell F2.
I want cells F3 thru F12 to automatically calculate according to the "Growth Per Month" value in cell H1.
Example: If January sales are 20,000, then February should calculate to 21,000 (january * 105%).
Excel Jeanie HTMLSheet1
E F G H 1 2010 Per Month Sales XXX 5% 2 XXX XXX 3 February $ 10,000 4 March $ 5,000 XXX 5 April $ 2,500 6 May $ 1,250 7 June $ 625 8 July $ 313 9 XXX $ 156 10 September $ 78 XXX 11 October XXX 12 November $ 20 XXX 13 December $ 10 14 $ 39,990

I have a list of email aliases for my company, approx 10,000 entries, mapping the alias to an email address. Two columns, one the alias firstname.surname, second column being the full email address. I have a second list, a subset of these aliases, approx 1200 of them, that are users of a particular web app. All i have in this list though, is the firstname.surname bit.
What I need to do is compare the lists, and where the aliases match I need to pull out the corresponding full email address from the long list, so I have 1200 aliases in the shorter list, with the full email address mapped to it. Is this possible in excel? i've tried all sorts of LOOKUP functions, and MATCH functions, but none seem to work. MATCH will give me the corresponding row number in the long list, but then it seems to offset itself every row it goes down, so the values are 1 out for every row. First row is good, second row -1, third row -3, fourth row -4 etc.
I don't want to have to manually go through 1200 entries and match them against a 10,000-entry list. Hopefully there's a quick way in excel to filter the long list down to the entries specified in the short list?

Code:
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$1:$AM$14502").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:= _ "30/06/2013"
When I run the above on my Worksheet to Filter for Rows not equal to 30/06/13 this works fine
I want amend the Criteria1 to a string that is derived off a value in my worksheet I have done this as below where Range("D8").Value is 30/06/13
It is deleting al my data and not keeping the rows with 30/06/13 in it.
Code:
Dim rng As Range
Dim LastQtrDate As Date
Dim LastQtrDateString As String
LastQtrDate = shtControlTab.Range("D8").Value
LastQtrDateString = "" & LastQtrDate

I have a worksheet with various data autofiltered. I know when I filter on one of the fields, the drop down arrow becomes blue. If I filter on one or more fields, finding which fields I have autofiltered can become hard to find.
This is my question -- Can I put a button or some type of one touch command were I can take those autofilters off and return the worksheet backs to its original state before I autofiltered?

I am trying to create a sub-list from a master list based on a column criteria.
Basically, we have a large group of people that are now being split into 3 different sub groups, but still part of the whole. I would like to only upkeep the master list by assigning one of 3 managers to each employee and then having Excel place the employee's info (5 columns) into a seperate worksheet based on the manager assigned (3 seperate worksheets, one for each manager). I have searched through books and Excel help, but still cannot find any formula that can return multiple lines based on one criteria. Am I out of luck and forced to maintain this database with an Auto Filter and manually moving/copying the info?

i have a query spreadsheet where all business queries are logged. Next to each query you need to select a resolving reason from a drop down list, however i would like some of these to be locked so only certain people could use them.
Lets for ease of use the resolving reasons are the following -
Not paid
Allocated Correctly
Rejected
And say the drop down list is in column P
I would like everyone to use the top 2 but only certain members of the team to be able to use the last one.
I was thinking protect the cells in some way and a worksheet change event of some kind so protect / unprotect depending on the resolving reason.

I'm working out some vba script, that could filter up to 300,000 rows long list.
here is sample from that list:
1000999999027FRESH PASTA FETTUCINE WITH TOM102002P N0809100000035000000012810000000+0000000+ 0000000000000000+0203001896409
2000999999027020300189640900000000000005740200070063
1000999999027FRESH PASTA FETTUCINE WITH SPI102002P N0809100000025000000015700000100+0000000+ 0000000000000000+0203001896454
20009999990270203001896454000000000000057010180265125740200070070
As you can see, the rows are starting with 1000 and 2000. And that would be the criteria.
I'm importing the loooooong list file onto sheet1, and i'd like to sort the list so it puts all the codes starting with 1000 onto sheet2 and rows starting with 2000 onto sheet 3.
With regular filtering mode it's impossible and keeps giving errors.
I know it's possible, but i can't figure it out anymore.
I was thinking about to make script that would copy one row from sheet to sheet and loop it. But my mind just crashes doing that.

I have a column C with different text in cells (item's title). Column D - relevant description for each of the items. 100+ rows.
Now, unfortunately, often a spreadsheet with items is updated with many new items. So I get a new spreadsheet with old and new items mixed. I need, somehow, to import descriptions of the old items (Column D of the old spreadsheet) to the new spreadsheet from old spreadsheet. So I want excel to look for old items in column A of the new spreadsheet and, once found, insert a description in the column B from old spreadsheet.

I am making a spreadsheet that allows users to select items from a validated data list. Each item in the list has a numeric value in an adjacent column. When the user is entering data they will select from a drop down of the data list in column "A" and I would like to have the numeric value that corresponds with their selection to then autofill in column "B". I have tried VLOOKUP and IF formulas but cannot seem to get anything to work.
