Re-opening Auto Filter To "all"
Jun 23, 2007
Maybe its just my 42 year-old eyes, but I find using Auto Filter to be a bit of a pain. Sorting is no problem: click on the arrow in the auto filtered row, choose what I want, do my work, easy as pie. HOWEVER: I'm done my work, and I want to re-open to "all".
Problem: remembering what @#$%$# column I've auto-filtered on. Excel helpfully highlights the arrow's column in a wonderful shade of DARK BLUE, which (see 42 year old eyes above) looks not much different than the BLACK arrows on the other 47 columns. Eventually I'll remember, click back on it, then on to workflow item #2. Repeat as needed.
So, I'm just wondering: is there any way to highlight the selected column better? Even zooming to 200% doesn't help my eyestrain. I suppose I could highlight the column somehow BEFORE I sort, but that seems to be quite a bit of work, even with a macro. What would be nice would be a way to somehow make the auto-filter selection arrow bigger, or at least make the "clicked" column arrow yellow or white. Anything but a dark colour on a grey background.

I have attached a code that prompt the user for a store # then that number would automatically copy to cell A1 and at the same time it saves the file name as what is copied to A1.
This is a good code but the problem is when the file is closed and re-open, it prompts the user again for a store number and when you select 'Cancel' it replaces the store# already stored in cell A1.
What I am trying to accomplish:
1- When the file is re-opened, it should detect cell A1, if it's empty prompt user for store #, if it's not empty skip the prompt screen.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
var1 = InputBox("store#")
Range("a1") = var1
var1_filename = var1 & ".xls"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=var1_filename
End Sub

I want to make a macro that will generate a backup copy each time the Excel file is opened. I premade a backup and recorded the following macro, placing it in the sub here:
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
ChDir "C:Usersmy.selfDesktop"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"C:Usersmy.selfDesktopDaily Backup.xlsm", _
FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled,_ CreateBackup:=False
ActiveWorkbook.Close
End Sub
names have been changed to protect the innocent. But now either putting in to repoen the original working excel or manually opening it puts me in an infinite loop of backing up. The probelm seems to be that to make a copy it is making the open workbook the backup. So two part question here:
1. Can I make a copy under the same name automatically when the file is opened while staying in the current one?
Example: open the Excel file "Working Copy", which makes a mirror file called "Backup Copy", but stay in "Working Copy".
2. From what I did manage to do, I notice every time it asks if I want to overwrite. I chose "Yes" when recording the macro but this doesn't seem to get captured. can I make it automatically yes without being asked?

I have to open some woorkbooks via VBA disabling macros automatically (the reason of this is very hard to explain, my boss wants it in this way)
Does any parameter exist to add it to the woorkbook.open function? or any trick to do this?

I have a workbook template that will have multiple tabs. I would like to have it that when you open this workbook the date populates in A1 for each tab and is static. At that point they can save with another name leaving the template intact so when you open it again (on another day) it will populate with the current date. Is this possible and if so how?

I have made an excel spreadsheet. The area with data exactly fills my screen.
When I send it to other colleagues, it perfectly fills their screen too. But for some colleagues the data area is either too big for their screen or takes up a small proportion of their screen based on their screen resolution. I would like the area with data to perfectly fill the screen of all people who will access the file.
I am thinking that I would do an automatic event so that I can change the settings upon opening the file. I have Excel VBA programming for Dummies which explains about automatic events but I have no idea what sort of sub procedure to use.

I have an Excel Workbook with Showcase Queries embedded into it.
Upon a manual open, the user is prompted to either refresh data or keep data since last save, the user then has to enter a username and password to allow the query to access the database.
Using the code below to open the workbook, no such prompts are given. Is the code overriding the prompts and automatically refreshing the data without password? [Given nature of data, visual validation of refresh is not possible]
If not, how can we code a data refresh through showcase query with user/pw req's?

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.

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

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 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'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'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 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.

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.
