Filtering A List Without The Auto Filter
Jan 9, 2007I 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 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 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.
when i use vlookup in a col and try to filter #n/a.the #n/a is not getting displayed in auto filter list but when i scroll down i can see some #n/a available.i alway do it after pasting it as values
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"?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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"

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 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 m kinda playing with the drop down list and i decided to make a list about the nba teams.
heres the breakdown:
1st row
conference: east/west
2nd row
east: ATLANTIC/CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST
west: SOUTHWEST/NORTHWEST/PACIFIC
3rd row
the teams list is next.
now ive learned how to do a drop down list but i cant find a way to filter the 2nd row. i hope you can gimme some tips or ways on how to go over this. i tried data>filter but thats not what i need.
here is an attachment and i used sheet 1 for the input and sheet 2 for the list of the selections.
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 pivot table with a group # on the left, and team members on the right. There are multiple team members in each group, and each are on a separate line in the pivot table, like this:
Group #Team1chrisdawnsally2cassiechrisdawnkathysally3jimjoejohntomGrand Total
I need to find where "sally" is on the team (easy to do"), BUT I need to display the rest of the team members in the group with her, like this:
Group #Team1Sally, Chris, Dawn2Cassie, Kathy, Sally, Dawn, ChrisGrand Total
Using the concatanate function to put them all into one cell and then filtering for "contains" was all I could come up with, but there are 14,000 groups
I also have a user form with two listboxes, a fruit box and a veggie box. I want to populate each box based on its type. So all of the fruits go in the fruit box, all the veggies in the veggie box. I have each column as a named value (lstKeys, lstTypes, lstName).
Code:
'Add Names
For Each Name In Range("lstNames")
If Range("lstType").Value = "Veggies" Then
[Code]....
I've got two long columns of dates and names. The dates and names can repeat. Eg:
01/01/14
Fred
01/01/14
Joe
01/01/14
Tom
[Code] ........
I want to input a date and create a list of names with only the names from the date I enter and earlier, and excluding names that appear again with a later date.
E.g. if I enter 01/01/14 I'd get:
Joe
Tom
But not Fred, as although he appears on 01/01/14 he also appears with a later date too.
I have a list of cells i want to select my information from and in addtion i want to select the list all except one value in a box:
eg......
Value in Box: C
List of Values:
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
Therfore i want in a validation list all the values (A - G) except the value represented in the box, hence (C).
I have an excel file with a table in it. It contains 2051 records (attached). This is just a sample, the original file has around 30,000 rows.
When I start using filters, I run into problems:
Step 1: Filter by Unit, condition (e.g.) Unit_23
Excel shows in the status bar the following message: 437 of 2050 records found.
Step 2: If I scroll to the bottom of the table, the row numbers are colored in blue (normal for a filtered list) however the last row is not colored and it actually should not be shown since its unit is not what I filtered for (its unit is Unit_25)
Step 3: Clear the filter of Unit
Step 4: Sometimes (depending on what I filter for), one or more of the bottom rows are hidden!!!

Is there an easier way to use a column FILTER without using the very ugly AUTO FILTER ?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a long list of accounts (for the purposes of of bookkeeping - keeping a cash disbursement journal) and I use data validation that uses this list when I enter an account's name in the journal. Because the list is very long, I often times have to scroll up and down the list in the drop down menu that comes up at a cell I need to populate and when looking for the proper name of the account I needed to be there. I am looking to add a capability to my data validation list use when I would be able to enter several symbols, part of the name of the account I am looking for, and the list of accounts displayed for me to choose from would get shortened based on the symbols I enter. the symbols I enter do not necessarily have to be the first symbols of the account name I am looking for. (as sometimes, I do not remember how exactly the account is called - and so I just guess part of the name ... )
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a list of 800 fund names that can be any one of 6 types of funds. It is easy to filter the names using the filter function, but I cannot get it to be a filtered list for my dropdown box. The dropdown box should only list those fund names of funds that is of a certain kind. I know I am missing something small.
If the accompanying data is used as an example, I would like a dropdown box with the names of all the I funds.
I'm trying to filter a list between two dates that are selected using drop down lists in Cells CZ1 and CZ2.
The first part of the code works ok ie it filters the list by column 28 as "Shipped" only.
The second part is causing me trouble.
The third part sorts the list by date order based on column 48 and this also works ok.
Code:
Sub FilterTransactionDates()
With Sheet1
.AutoFilterMode = False
.Range("A1:CU1").AutoFilter
.Range("A1:CU1").AutoFilter Field:=28, Criteria1:="Shipped"
.Range("A1:CU1").AutoFilter Field:=48, Criteria1:>=Range("CZ1").Value, Operator:= _

Is there a way to use the auto filter when all cells on a spreadsheet are protected. It doesnt appear to work when cells are protected.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have two Spreadsheets, lets call it Spreadsheet 1 and Spreadsheet 2.
Spreadsheet 1 has a list of partial employee names in column A.
Spreadsheet 2 has a list of 500,0000 full employee names in column A and their phone number in column B and address in column C through E.
Basically what I want to do is do a wildcard search for the partial employee name, so like lookup Spreadsheet 1' Column A's *name* in column A of Spreadsheet 2. Based on the number of matches. I want to insert that many blank rows underneath the partial employee name, and paste those matched rows there, then continue to the second partial employee name lookup and repeat the process.
This loop has to repeat 1000 times.
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.

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?
