Auto Filtering Issues with VBA

[BKennelly]

Essentially I am trying to filter Column Z by the months shown in cells B2:B4 upon the click of a button. So let's say that I have May through July showing in Cells B2:B4, once I click a button I want to Auto Filter Column Z to show only the rows that have dates between May and July. I know I could just use the normal filters, however, by doing it through VBA I am thinking that it will not matter which months are showing in B2:B4 and will pull the appropriate data. It sounds simple enough but I am clearly missing something, I have tried a multitude of things across the web and have had no luck so far. Not sure if it matters but I did use a table.

If you need any more information let me know.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Brandon

Hi Brandon,

Welcome to the MrExcel Forum.

This code will filter a table named "Table5", where the 7th Column of the table is Column Z, for all dates between Cells B2 & B4. I know that is not exactly what you asked for but if Cell B3 falls between Cells B2 & B4, it should work.

Or at least I hope it get you closer to where you want to be...

Sub FilterTable()


    Range("Table5[[#Headers],[Column7]]").Select
    ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table5").Range.AutoFilter Field:=7, Criteria1 _
        :=">=" & Range("B2"), Operator:=xlAnd, Criteria2:="<=" & Range("B4")
        
End Sub

Hello,

Thank you for the reply. I tried what you said however, I keep getting a Run-Time Error '1004': Application-defined or object-defined error.

I did tweak it a smidgen to match my excel doc. Instead of your "Table5" I have "Table3". As for the column # I am little confused on that one, wouldn't Column Z be the 26th column? I did try the code both ways and it neither worked. I assumed the #Headers should be my actual Header name (#Ack. Date) there.

Sub JobsForMontsAbove()



    Range("Table3[[#Ack. Date],[Column26]]").Select
    ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table3").Range.AutoFilter Field:=26, Criteria1 _
        :=">=" & Range("B2"), Operator:=xlAnd, Criteria2:="<=" & Range("B4")
        
End Sub

The table name should be right with Table3. The column number is the number of the column in the actual table. So if in your Table3 the very first column of the table was Column Y (Column 1), then Column Z would be Column 2.

I hope that makes sense...

Ok, that makes sense now. My first column in Table3 is Column A, therefore, Column Z would be Column 26. Now to make sense of the code for this thing.

Thank you for you help thus far,
Brandon

That sounds right.

I Hope you get it done. Any other questions, fee free...

Hi Brandon,

Just to be clear. According to the info you provided (I am not big on clicking links), this code should work for you.

Sub FilterTable()


    Range("Table3[[#Headers],[Column26]]").Select
    ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table5").Range.AutoFilter Field:=26, Criteria1 _
        :=">=" & Range("B2"), Operator:=xlAnd, Criteria2:="<=" & Range("B4")
        
End Sub

I hope this helps.

Yikes, I should just go back to bed...

Try this instead. Sorry about the confusion...

Sub FilterTable()


    Range("Table3[[#Headers],[#Ack. Date]]").Select
    ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table3").Range.AutoFilter Field:=26, Criteria1 _
        :=">=" & Range("B2"), Operator:=xlAnd, Criteria2:="<=" & Range("B4")
        
End Sub

Thank you for all or your effort. It seems to be hanging up at the first line after Sub... where I am getting a Run-time error 1004 application-defined or object-defined error every time I try to step through the code.

Thank you,
Brandon

You should double check your table name and column header name...
