How to apply filter and copy only specific columns from the visible range.

[roshanvmech]

Dear All,
I have the below code which applies a filter and copies the visible range after filtering. I now want the code to be updated to only copy columns A,B,H,I and BA. Please help.

'Macro to apply filter and copy the selection
Sub Copy_With_AutoFilter1()
'Note: This macro use the function LastRow
Dim My_Range As Range
Dim CalcMode As Long
Dim ViewMode As Long
Dim FilterCriteria As String
Dim CCount As Long
Dim WSNew As Worksheet
Dim sheetName As String
Dim rng As Range
'Set filter range on ActiveSheet: A1 is the top left cell of your filter range
'and the header of the first column, D is the last column in the filter range.
'You can also add the sheet name to the code like this :
'Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:D" & LastRow(Worksheets("Sheet1")))
'No need that the sheet is active then when you run the macro when you use this.
Set My_Range = Range("A1:BA" & LastRow(ActiveSheet))
My_Range.Parent.Select
'Change ScreenUpdating, Calculation, EnableEvents, ....
With Application
CalcMode = .Calculation
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
End With
ViewMode = ActiveWindow.View
ActiveWindow.View = xlNormalView
ActiveSheet.DisplayPageBreaks = False
'Firstly, remove the AutoFilter
My_Range.Parent.AutoFilterMode = False
'Filter and set the filter field and the filter criteria :
'This example filter on the first column in the range (change the field if needed)
'In this case the range starts in A so Field 1 is column A, 2 = column B, ......
'Use "<>Netherlands" as criteria if you want the opposite
My_Range.AutoFilter Field:=53, Criteria1:="=fail"
'If you want to filter on a cell value you can use this, use "<>" for the opposite
'This example uses the activecell value
'My_Range.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="=" & ActiveCell.Value
'This will use the cell value from A2 as criteria
'My_Range.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="=" & Range("A2").Value
''If you want to filter on a Inputbox value use this
'FilterCriteria = InputBox("What text do you want to filter on?", _
' "Enter the filter item.")
'My_Range.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="=" & FilterCriteria
'Check if there are not more then 8192 areas(limit of areas that Excel can copy)
CCount = 0
On Error Resume Next
CCount = My_Range.Columns(1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Areas(1).Cells.Count

Else
'Add a new Worksheet

'Ask for the Worksheet name
sheetName = InputBox("What is the name of the new worksheet?", _
"Name the New Sheet")
On Error Resume Next
WSNew.Name = sheetName
If Err.Number > 0 Then
MsgBox "Change the name of sheet : " & WSNew.Name & _
" manually after the macro is ready. The sheet name" & _
" you fill in already exists or you use characters" & _
" that are not allowed in a sheet name."
Err.Clear
End If
On Error GoTo 0
'Copy/paste the visible data to the new worksheet
My_Range.Parent.AutoFilter.Copy
With WSNew.Range("A1")
' Paste:=8 will copy the columnwidth in Excel 2000 and higher
' Remove this line if you use Excel 97
.PasteSpecial Paste:=8
.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues

Application.CutCopyMode = False
.Select
End With
' If you want to delete the rows that you copy, also use this
' With My_Range.Parent.AutoFilter.Range
' On Error Resume Next
