Filtering Using VBA, But Sometimes Critera Is Not Met

[Lisa928]

I have tried a bunch of approaches but no are working.

Most of the times the criteria (cells in column T not blank) is met and therefore I want to filter to those records, but if it is not met I want it left unfiltered.

I was thinking of a COUNTIF not blank and then using that variable so if it is >0 then filter, but I cannot figure out the COUNTIF statement.


Flags = WorksheetFunction.countif(Range("T2:T" & LastRow)) <> ""
If Flags > 0 Then
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$1:$Z" & LastRow).AutoFilter Field:=20, Criteria1:="<>"
End If


Any help is appreciated.

Try this:

Sub TestFilter()


Dim lr, flags As Long
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Sheets("Sheet1").AutoFilter.Range.Rows(1)  'no selection needed.


rng.AutoFilter  'to clear all previous filters
rng.AutoFilter


lr = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(Rows.Count, 20).End(xlUp).Row   '---find last row before filtering


rng.AutoFilter Field:=20, Criteria1:="<>"
flags = ActiveSheet.Range("f1:f" & lr).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Rows.Count


If flags = lr And lr > 2 Then   'in case there are 1 row for the header and 1 row with result non ""
    rng.AutoFilter  'to clear the filter
    rng.AutoFilter
End If




End Sub

So, first you filter, then if there is no reason for the filter, then clear all filters.

It assumes that your headers are in row 1 and the data starts from row 2. Also, that you already have auto filter in row 1 with your headers. Hope this helps.
