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?
I'm working on a workbook that has alot of calculations in it, on a pretty slow PC (Work-related), so auto-calculate is casuing crashing, so what I've done with this sheet is disabled auto-calculate and added a macro to calculate each sheet indiviually instead, which avoids the crashing (The last sheet still takes a minute and a half to process but thats ok I guess).
My worry is, when this workbook does the rounds, peoples excel will already have autocalculate on, and will crash it themselves. Is there anyway I can ensure that the sheet turns atuocalculate on or, failing that, does anyone have any ideas on how to help the issue?
When i enter a value in an excel sheet cell ,Excel auto detect the data type and format that cell to that data type.
For example if i enter 4/4001, excel read it as date and convert the cell format from general to date and displays 4-Aprl.
However if i precede with " ' " this problem is solved but my question ios that can i permanently disable this auto detect option?
Is there an easier way to use a column FILTER without using the very ugly AUTO FILTER ?

The filter works, but it is not applied. after the macro is run, I need to click "OK" on the filter for it to apply.
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?
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.
wk wk wk wk part #
1 13 26 39 19080
2 14 27 40 100039
4 16 29 1 101007
if there is a way to have a running total of the auto filter feature
ie. you have 5 different values constantly being updated, can these totals be shown somewhere? maybe in another cell or on another worksheet
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"

View 7 Replies View RelatedI tried using SUBTOTATL but no luck.
As always, I prefer without helper column(s) and/or VBA - but If not - I will, probably, have to compromise.
My data is as follows:
- 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:
Activesheet.AutoFilterMode = False
Activesheet.Range("D2:D60").AutoFilter 1, Activesheet.Range("A2").value

I have two problems:
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 am trying to write a macro that will:
A: copy data in cell A1 from Sheet1
B: Add an auto filter in sheet2 column A = to what was copied in Cell A1 from sheet 1.
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.

' 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'm running Excel 2003 and I have a workbook with an Auto List in Column G. When I attempt to paste a row of data I get the following message.
The operation is not allowed. the operation is attempting to shift cells in a list on your worksheet.
To work around this, I have to convert the list to a range, copy the data and then reapply the Auto List.
Is there another way to work around this or will I have to create vba code or record a macro?
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.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have column A containing either "Correct" or "Incorrect".
I have another column D which also contain same values "Correct" or "Incorrect".
I applied auto filer on Column D , criteria is "Incorrect" and on Column A criteria is "Correct".
All the above is done using VBA.
Now, I want a code to convert the value in column A from "Correct" to "Incorrect", only for the rows retured by auto filter.
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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using auto filter to gather information from a giant list. I'm able to use Subtotal function in Row(1) )to gather all the numbers for a person.What I havent been able to do is figue out a way to get the value of the person that I am auto filtering.

Row 1 contains my subtotal formula's
Row 2 Header Row
Row 3 Auto Filter Buttons
Row 4 All The Data

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an autofilter setup with 3 values: "Show", "Hide" and "Always". The show/hide values are dependent if formulas based on other cells.
I have two sheets with this filter (Template and Summary); the filter works fine on the Template tab, however on the Summary tab...
When filtered to only show values "Always" and "Show", the filter only recognizes some of the "Show" values. I have copy pasted the if formula from the rows that work to the rows that don't and verified the formatting is the same. There are no named ranges that may be screwing it up and no empty cells in the filter range.
If I manually unhide the rows in questions, then run the filter, the rows stay shown. However, if I run the filter to only show "Always", then run it again to show "Always" or "Show", then the rows in question disappear.
I also have vba assigned objects for show and hide (the same scripts are used for the Template sheet and the Summary sheet), but the issue persists when using the buttons.
I hard code "Show" instead of it being an if formula, the filter works fine. But the formula that doesn't work is also used on rows that do work.
