i need to use tat feature so tat i can filter column A alone and then copy column A, column B and column C's value to columns E,F and G...
I have a list of item numbers that will be repeated numerous times. I would like to extract a list of unique values that would update when a new number is added. I would really like to do this with formulas. Both of the list will be on the same sheet. I have racked my brain trying to figure out a way to do this. I thought I could use LOOKUP and MAX for the first cell, and then subtract one from the number above for the following LOOKUP formulas. That did not work. Probably because my list is not sorted.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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'm having a problem deleting duplicates from list in excel. I’ve attached a sample. I’ve tried the following:
1-Advanced Filter, Unique Records Only
2-Remove Duplicates function in Excel 07.
3-Pivot Table
4-Colour Conditional Formatting, sorting by colour
5-B2=IF(A2=A3,”Dup”,”Not-Dup”). The entire column returns “Not-Dup”
6-I’ve tried to resolve using the fix shg & teylyn suggested to Hillto in this thread, but am unable to get the ‘Numeric’ Keypad to appear in the ‘Find’ Function.

If you navigate on the file menu in the excel window to: Data>Filter>Advanced Filter
Then select:
Copy to New location, Unique records only. You can arrive at the macro
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...
How do I go about using an advanced filter to filter a list of data e.g.
boat
boat
boat
car
car
truck
and have the filter extract only the boat entries to another worksheet, so on another worksheet I end up with
boat
boat
boat
1- Force cell format date to by (yyyy/mm/dd) only, with worng msgbox( validation).
2- Make the first day of a month in a color cell
I've Tried this In Conditional Formating (=VALUE(right(A1;2))=1) but didn't work
3-Make Advanced Filter to filter data between two dates .
How can I FILTER a range and display the unique items, one below the other, WITHOUT blank cells - with only a FORMULA. What I came up with is shown in the attached WB. I would like to present the countries like in C11:C15.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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 condition in advanced filtering as >90%. However, I would like the "90%" to be calculated via a formula in another cell and this condition to reference it. Is it possible?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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?
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
[Code]....
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.
This code works, but I would like to cut (remove) the records from the original record list.
Range("A:F").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CriteriaRange:=Range _
("H1:H3"), CopyToRange:=Range("J1:O1"), Unique:=True
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.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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 am trying to perform a function that searches through the first column for any active "A" account and then copies the corresponding rows information into another worksheet. I think I need to use the advanced filter function however I can't seem to figure it out.
I have a list of subscribers, each with an account id and the years for which they have subscribed. Each account id can be listed up to five times. I am trying to find out how to use advanced filter(or some other way!) to find those accounts that were subscribers in any of the previous four years but not the current year.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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?
i am trying to use the autofilter command to paste 4 columns else where on the page using unique = true. this only will run once. when i try to run it again everything is blank. please see code below.

I created an advanced filter macro which analyzes the "Orig_Appmt_Data" dataset from the "Summary" worksheet and provides the resulting analysis on the "Effective Rate" worksheet. However, when I change the name of the workbook, the macro fails. I was hoping someone could provide some assistance in helping adjust the vba code to take into account the subsequent changes in workbook filename. Here is the
Sub ER_Analysis()
'
Range("B8:R109").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Columns("P:R").Select
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
Range("Q5").Select
Range(" Conversion 3-28-07.xls'!Orig_Appmt_Data"). _
AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CriteriaRange:=Range("Q5:Q6"), _
CopyToRange:=Range("B8:R8"), Unique:=False
Range("B8:R8").Select
Selection.AutoFilter
Range("B8:R87").Sort Key1:=Range("P8"), Order1:=xlDescending, Header:= _
xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal

I am trying to create my critera section for an Advanced Filter, but it seems like Auto Filter uses each row as a specific filter.
i.e. If I need to filter all the "2"s in column A, but both the "1"s and "2"s in column B, I need to create two different filters like this:
Column A Column B
2 1
2 2
Instead of just:
Column A Column B
2 1
2
Is there any way I can use auto-filter without having to put in every possible combination of my criteria in as different filters? Auto Merged Post;I did try creating columns next to each other, but that seems to only work as an "AND."
Per my example, I need to return everything with column A = 2, and column B = 1 or 2.
Except in my actual spreadsheet, it's more like where A = {1,2,3,4,5} and B = {0,9,8,7,6} and C = {a,b,c,d,e}
I've written a macro in an attempt to automate the advanced filtering in Excel.
VB:
Sub FilterData()
Sheets("Filter").Select
Range("B10").Select[code]....
