VBA: IF vs. Auto.Filter

[Natalie50208]

I am trying to create a macro that will isolate and delete unnecessary data. However, I am receiving an error. I believe I may need to use an 'IF' statement rather than using auto.filter.

I'm trying to determine what value/statement I should be using.....

Here's a copy of my initial attempt (the part that is highlighted on VB is bolded):

Rows("1:2").Select
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
    Cells.Select
    Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("R2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, _
        OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
        DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
    Selection.AutoFilter
    Selection.AutoFilter Field:=18, Criteria1:="=1006", Operator:=xlOr, _
        Criteria2:="=1016", Operator:=xlOr, _
        Criteria3:="=1017", Operator:=xlOr, _
        Criteria4:="=1018", Operator:=xlOr, _
        Criteria5:="=1019", Operator:=xlOr, _
        Criteria6:="=1024", Operator:=xlOr, _
        Criteria7:="=1258", Operator:=xlOr, _
        Criteria8:="=1260", Operator:=xlOr, _
        Criteria9:="=1363", Operator:=xlOr, _
        Criteria10:="=2416", Operator:=xlOr, _
        Criteria11:="=2417", Operator:=xlOr, _
        Criteria12:="=2451", Operator:=xlOr, _
        Criteria13:="=2596", Operator:=xlOr, _
        Criteria14:="=2671", Operator:=xlOr, _
        Criteria15:="=8711", Operator:=xlOr, _
        Criteria16:="=2751"
    Rows("2:2").Select
    Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
    ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
    Selection.AutoFilter
    ActiveWindow.SmallScroll ToRight:=7
    Cells.Select
    Range("H1").Activate
    Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("K2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Key2:=Range("AN2") _
        , Order2:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:= _
        False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, DataOption1:=xlSortNormal, DataOption2 _
        :=xlSortNormal
    Cells.Select
    Selection.AutoFilter
    Selection.AutoFilter Field:=11, Criteria1:="0"
    ActiveWindow.SmallScroll ToRight:=21
    Selection.AutoFilter Field:=40, Criteria1:="<1/1/2009", Operator:=xlAnd
    Rows("2:2").Select
    Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
    ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
End Sub

You can't have that many criteria for autofilter.

You could rewrite the code to filter for each number separately and work with the results each time. You can also combine some of those criteria. For example, in place of this:

       Criteria2:="=1016", Operator:=xlOr, _
        Criteria3:="=1017", Operator:=xlOr, _
        Criteria4:="=1018", Operator:=xlOr, _
        Criteria5:="=1019", Operator:=xlOr, _

You could take that down to two criteria that check for those two values and anything between:

Criteria1:=">=1016", Operator:=xlAnd, _
Criteria2:="<=1019"
