Hi Friends, I request your help here for a code to search for a column using column name and filter data using wildcards. ABC, PQR, and XYZ are part of the same team but no other column to identify teams and therefore they need to be searched at once from the given data.

Below code was generated by a macro. I tried to tweak it but I am not able to get my head around it and its not working as planned.

Sub Filter_DC()
Cells.Find(What:="Name", LookAt:=xlWhole).Activate
Selection.AutoFilter
ActiveSheet.Range("A1:V1000").AutoFilter Field:=14, Criteria1:=Array("*ABC*", "*PQR*", "*XYZ*"), Operator:=xlFilterValues
Cells.Find(What:="Name").Select
End Sub

Please help.

Click the italics "fx" icon to the left of the formula bar to open the Functions Arguments dialog. Help is displayed for each argument.
You can only filter with an array for exact matches, not partial matches.
How about
VBA Code:
Sub dpchheda()
   Dim Fnd As Range, Cl As Range
   
   Set Fnd = Range("1:1").Find("Name", , , xlWhole, , , False, , False)
   If Fnd Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
   With CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
      For Each Cl In Range(Fnd, Cells(Rows.Count, Fnd.Column).End(xlUp))
         If InStr(1, Cl, "abc", vbTextCompare) > 0 Or InStr(1, Cl, "pqr", vbTextCompare) > 0 Or InStr(1, Cl, "xyz", vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
            .Item(Cl.Value) = Empty
         End If
      Next Cl
      Range("1:1").AutoFilter Fnd.Column, .Keys, xlFilterValues
   End With
End Sub
