Hi Guys

Is there a way to auto filter a table using a column header name instead of a field value

eg. Selection.AutoFilter Field:=15, Criteria1:="=*" & strUserIn & "*", Operator:=xlAnd

Instead of using 15 use the name of the header there. The table is called "table2" and the header is called "type".

thanks

Rory
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
How about like
VBA Code:
   With ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table2")
      .Range.AutoFilter .ListColumns("Type").Index, "=*" & strUserIn & "*"
   End With
