Excel Macro to autofilter ">= 200K amount" as a single string

[akdwivedi]

Hi All,

I am using a macro which picks up a value from a sheet "Overview" goes to sheet "Input" and does an auto-filter in "Input" sheet. Then it picks up the filtered column and uses it further.

I have an issue with auto-filter when the value in "Overview" sheet is something like >= 200K amount . Excel Macro piks it up as a greater than filter, instead of being just a normal "equal to" with the filter on the provided value.

Code snippet:
<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: bbcode_code -->
Code:
<STYLE>.alt2 font {font: 11px monospace !important;color: #333 !important;}</STYLE>

..
'Fetch threshold headers from the Temp sheet using autofilter
Sheets("Input").Select Range("A1").Select Selection.AutoFilter 
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=Worksheets("Overview").Range("E1").Value 
..

</PRE><!-- END TEMPLATE: bbcode_code -->I am just a beginner so if this question sounds basic, please forgive me

Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:= "=" & Worksheets("Overview").Range("E1").Value

 

[akdwivedi]

Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:= "=" & Worksheets("Overview").Range("E1").Value

I just tried that, but doing this the normal values are not filtered for some reason. So if there is a value Large amount which does not have any sign, only blank rows are filtered.

Ultimately as a workaround, I am now using a IF statement, to use the above method only if there is a ">;<;=" signs in the first letter, if not then use without "=" &

Can you post an example of some data that is not being filtered correctly and how it should be filtered?

Assuming the above data goes into sheet "Input" in cells A1:C16 and one of the criteria goes into cell E1 of the "Overview" sheet, the following line of code autofilters correctly for me.

Sub Macro1()
Sheets("Input").Range("A1").AutoFilter 1, "=" & Sheets("Overview").Range("E1").Value
End Sub

Did you loop through all the data? Try copying the values from "Input" sheet as a transpose on the Overview sheet, per value and see if it gets copied.

I am trying but it does not auto-filter properly, just selects blank (i.e. no matching value) for the very first one : "Major activity"

I'm not sure why you are trying to loop through the data and what the final goal is. But with the above data and the macro I posted, it filters correctly and I can copy and paste only the filtered rows to the other sheet.

Ok No issues. Thanks a lot for your help. I will give this a try to my situation and work it out.
