I've read several posts about how to use autofilter with more than 2 criteria and the answer seems to be to use an array - I am trying the following but get a Type Mismatch error on the Criteria 2 line?

Code:
Criteria1 = "*Meeting 1*"            
Criteria2 = Array("<>*at their Stand*", "<>*Table (TBC)*")

For further clarity the criteria are then used laterin the code as follows:
Code:
Sheet1.Range("A1").AutoFilter Field:=SponsorColID, Criteria1:=Criteria1, Criteria2:=Criteria2

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
You can only use more than 2 criteria if you are doing an exact match.
For partial matches or <> you are limited to two criteria.
One option is to use a helper column with a formula that returns true/false & then filter on that.
And another option would be to have a look at using advanced filters instead.

Thank you Fluff - thought I was going mad but you've explained the issue - will investigate advanced filters but will use a helper column for a quick fix, thanks.
