Auto Filter - Data Format
Nov 14, 2006
I am having trouble with using the auto filter, and I suspect it is due to my data format.
I am importing data from an outside source (I have no control on how the data is output). The data in the column I am concerned with contains various formats, such as numbers, letters, and a combo of the two. e.g.:
12345
sample
sam123ple
I have been taking the entire column and formatting it as text to make all of the data consistent. The problem I see comes when I go to use the autofilter, to say custom>begins with "123". The value 12345 does not show up in my filter. However, if I double click the cell 12345, then hit enter, and re-run my autofilter, it shows up.
Does anyone know the reason why this double-click-enter method forces Excel to recognize the value? And is there a way to mass-produce this command for the entire data set? Right now, I'm up to 5000 lines of data, so to do this on each would take a while.

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 have some auto Filters I need to apply to my data,
I have a file with supplier and description columns and i need to apply around 15-20 autofilters and move the corresponding data/ results to a different worksheet (which has the same headers but already has data - so want to move it to the bottom of the list) in the same workbook.
I was wondering If you would guide me on the If statements so that I could create a macro that works?

The problem lies in cell H11, which gives me a value error with the following formula:=SUMPRODUCT((A39:A1020=B4)*(B39:B1020=B5)*(C39:C1020=B6)*(D39:D1020=B7)*(E39:E1020=B8)*(V39: V1020))
using auto filter i made your there was data in that field see line V103.

My task is to write a macro on auto filtering. I got 2 columns of relevant data. Cells in column A show the team name and corresponding cell in column C shows the person who belongs to the team.
For clear illustration, this is an example of the list I got.
A1: A, C1: XX
A2: A, C2: YY
A3: A, C3: ZZ
A4: B, C4: XX
A5: B, C5, 00
A6: B, C6: 11
What I need to do is to write a macro that auto filters and shows only relevant data.
Assume XX used to be in team A but now moved to team B. When i filter for team A, i need all members who are/were in team A.
For instance, when i want team A, it has to include A1-A4 and when i want team B, it has to include A1,A4-A6.

Setting up all 50 states was not so bad, and I tried a Pivot Table but I have very little experience with them and could not figure out how to show only the nonzero states. So, I looked up how to filter the pivot table and discovered I could just filter the state data without the pivot table.
So, I put all 50 state abbreviations in one column. In the next column I put countif formulas to count how many customers came from each state. (In the meantime, I learned how to use an indirect formula to pull the state ID from the first column and copy it down and have the formula advance for each row... cool!) Then, I filtered the columns on the count twice. First, in descending order; then, without the zeros.
However, the weak side of the filter is that it does not automatically update when a new state is entered. I have to go and manually filter again. So, is there a way to get the filter to update dynamically? I know that a pivot table is dynamic but I have a lot to learn and I can probably browse around and figure out how to show only the nonzero states. Once I learned that, would it dynamically update when a new state is added?

I am looking to use the formula's to determine if the contents of a cell, match or meet a given formula.
In this case, 3 alpha + 3 numeric, e.g. ABC123.
I would want it to return a TRUE or FALSE.
I've done it the long way by tearing apart into the 1st through 6th characters, but would enjoy a more succinct method.

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.

Using VBA in a code. I was using this same code for another workbook before and it worked fine.

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

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?

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"

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?
