I have a column named remarks (amongst many others) and want to apply a custom filter on my data so that all records which have a "?" anywhere in the text should be listed.
However I can't do that because in the filter dialog box, the use of "*" and "?" is for wildcards...
I'm trying to write a macro that will custom filter a column for cells containing the value in a cell, the macro I have so far is:
Sub Filter()
ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode = off
LookupVal = Range("C3")
Range("A8").AutoFilter Field:=4, Criterial:=LookupVal
End Sub
However that only returns cells that are equal to C3, normally to do contains I would put "* *" around the value but then that removes the reference to cell C3.
I am trying to use the AutoFilter/Custom function in Excel (it is available under the Data Menu). It offers me two conditions/criteria that I can apply using and/or. For eg:
Filter:
does not begin with - 3
and / or
does not begin with - 9.
I want to add a third 'and' criteria .. is it possible, and if so, how?
The column that I am trying to filter has numbers formatted as text.
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.
How can I perform a custom autofilter operation on the Column A data shown below that will filter out any cell that does not follow a "#.#.#" format. In other words I only want to see Level 3 paragraph numbers that contain two periods and suppress out all the other levels (variations containing 3 or more periods). I tried the following syntax in the custom aotofilter field with no success - "^#.^#.^#"

Is there any way to filter/sort a workbook by a specific text. (EX. Unit 17) I have a spread sheet with 40,000 plus rows and in 1 column it has descriptions. I am needing the filter to filter out all occurrences of Unit 17 and Unit 16. They will not always say the something happened to them. EX Repair brakes on Unit 17 or maybe repair tires on Unit 17...
View 3 Replies View RelatedAs I have not tried to do this yet this is a hypothetical scenario. Imagine that a column, when filtered, gives cell values such as 3,6,9,12,18,24,36 ..and so on. Is there a way to select, say 12, and then see all the other values that are divisible into 12. e.g. all rows that have 3,6,12. Another example- select 36 and see 3,6,9,12,18 and 36?
On the attached example sheet, column 'O' will be filtered.
I was wondering if it is possible to create a custom pivot table report filter? I would like to take an existing pivot table report filter and manually add values into it. I would like to do this because I have multiple pivot tables, some with the same values and some with different values and I have a VBA code from Contextures that applies a mass filter to all fields with the same name. So if i could manually add values into one report filter, I could filter from one location and have all my pivot tables update at the same time if they contain the value that i would like to filter by.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to save filter options to so I can apply the same filter to multiple spreadsheets. For example, I have several spreadsheets with 50 or more school names and I am trying to set a filter that will filter out the same 20 schools each time. Is there anyway to do this in excel 2013?
View 4 Replies View Relatedwhat I do with excel: I have an excel sheet that has over 18,000 rows in it. Since it would be a nightmare to scroll around to find what I want, I use the Custom Sort and Filter options under Editing>Sort&Filter. So for example, I can omit 17,800 rows using a specific setting so that I can work with a more reasonable 200 rows. Moreover, the 200 rows comes from all over the spreadsheet. Meaning their row numbers are not always consecutive.
Here's the problem: Whenever I try to copy anything from this "edited or filtered" excel sheet, the resulting paste is not an exact copy. Excel perfectly copies the first rows up until the point where the row numbers ceases to be consecutive. So, the copy function messes up somehow when the data being copied comes from a different section of the original 18,000 rows.
In case this isn't clear enough...
Let's say that the original file has rows 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
Once I filter/custom sort, I see rows 1,2,3,8,9,10
When I try to copy/paste 2,3,8,9, excel copies 2,3, but messes up the rest of the 8,9. And I end up with a totally useless copy that's generally shorter than it's supposed to be.
When I go one column and Click custom filter and give the command one number and or another numbers ( I Have attached an excel sheet with screen shot) This filters the data, and I need to copy the same and paste in the next sheet.
I have to do like this for about 20 times for 20 sets of data). I have already done this and pasted the data in sheet2. I did everything manually. ( sample sheet is attached) I need a macro to do this work for me.
When I run the macro If get 2 text boxes I can enter the numbers. and click ok,the data has to filtered in sheet1, and result has to be pasted in the next sheet.with the header. Again I will run the macro i will give 2 numbers and the result should be pasted in sheet 2 after the 1st set of data leaveing one row as blank. ( exactly like the sample data in sheet 2). If I run the macro for 10 times giving 10 different numbers, the result should be pasted one after the other in sheet 2.
I'm trying to make a converter between about 8 various types of values. These are not units like Km or miles or something like that, but rather numbers that represent a specific "hardness value" on a variety of scales (to name a few: HRC, HRA, K)
What I've been doing so far is plotting the two types against eachother and then getting the best trendline I can so that I can use that formula to convert between the two with relative certainty. (for example, when plotting HV vs HRC my fourth order polynomial trendline with an Rsquared of 1 is y=0.0001x4 - 0.0188x3 + 1.0768x2 - 20.709x + 350.69)
My questions comes up where I was hoping to make a window or box of some sort allowing the user to input a numeric value, then selecting the Input units and the hopeful output calculated units, and have the box spit back to the user the conversion.
I want to be able to create a range of VBA userforms to quickly perform long tedious tasks. I want these userforms to be accessed from a nice tidy toolbar.
I have done this and it looks nice and works well. What I would like to be able to do is have my custom toolbar of userform controlled functions be transferable so that if someone else wants my toolbar and attached functions they can install it easily much the same way you can do with an add in.
Is this sort of thing possible or does it require them to manually install all my userforms, modules and toolbar? If it is possible what sort of things should I be looking at?
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.

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 :

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...

I just got into the world of PowerPivot, Excel 2013 and Pivot Tables and am in the process of creating a Dashboard which I will then be uploading to SharePoint 2013.
On top of page I added the new timeline filter which I've linked to my pivot charts. Now what I would like to do, is create an additional pivot chart which looks at whatever date range has been used in the timeline filter and subtract 5 years from that. So, when I select a date range of November 2013 - December 2013 in timeline filter, the additional pivot chart will show the details for November 2008 - December 2013. This is where I get stuck.
I'm using two SSAS cubes which I'm combining together in PowerPivot and then display in Pivot Tables and Pivot Charts.
Can anyone explain why the unique filter does not produce a unique result - sample attached?

I am in the process of making a database more efficient and am running into a problem with sorting data. I currently am trying to use AutoFilter to sort the data. When I want to then narrow the results further using the same column as the critical and there is nothing that matches the critical, I get everything from the entire database that matches that critical rather than what I want to see, which, in this case, would be nothing.
I have attached a sample file. In it, when All AF 1000 is run and then Selected MAC 2000 Wash is run, I want to see no results instead of seeing all MAC 2000 Washes from the original data set. I can do it using IF/THEN but I am looking for a faster way to do it.

I have a macro that looks for the last empty line( starting from the bottom of a range) the selects this line and clears it. The issue I am having is that it selects more the the range that it is coded for and for the life of me I don't understand why. This is the code,
Sub DelLastRowCols()
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim yourPassword As String
yourPassword = "pswrd"
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("Hrinput").Select
Sheets("Data").Visible = True
Sheets("data").Select
[Code]...
The Sheet "Hrinput" is the data input page, the sheet "data" is a seperate worksheet where all the data is kept. Currently this code will find the first used row from the bottom (row 478) but it will clear columns A- V of that row, not the A:F as defined. This range (A-F) is one of 5 set ranges, for 5 different data areas, on the same "Data" page. So when this macro runs it clears the data for the other 4 areas.
I have a worksheet that is unprotected but I am unable to apply filters to it. The option is greyed out if I try and select autofilters.
Another strange thing is that on one of the worksheets when I select Data, Filters there is a tick to the left of Autofilter but it is also greyed out, so in effect I cannot turn it off even tho I can't see the filters!
