I'm stuck on this problem. I've created drop-down lists in cells B3 and B4 (this is in worksheet 1), based on a column in Worksheet 2. I'd like Worksheet 2 to autofilter the data based on the drop-downs in B3 or B4, or both together. Can somebody help me write the code?

Thanks for the help - I'm not real experienced with VB.

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
It is easy by vba, without vba you have to do some manual exercise.
Add 2 more columns in Worksheet 2, we assume you wish to filter column A of Worksheet 2:
So in Worksheet2, Keep a formula in newly added 1st column like =IF(Sheet1!B3=A3,1,0)
Same way in newly added 2nd column keep formula like IF(Sheet1!B4=A3,1,0)
Copy these formulas till the range of your data.
Now you can filter newly added 2 columns either both with 1 or any one with 1.

I hope this will solve your problem.

Regards,

Mati

Thank you for your reply. I would like to autofilter column K in Worksheet 2, based on the input values from the drop-downs in B3 and B4 in Worksheet 1. I would rather use the VBA code so I can set up a button and run the macro just by clicking.
