Clear filters from ALL sheets, on workbook close

[Rob_010101]

Hi

I need a VBA code to clear/reset all filters from all sheets upon workbook close.

A number of users of a workbook are always leaving filtered criteria applied and exiting. With some sheets having 100 columns, it sometimes causes problems when others open the workbook and think data is missing. There are about 40 people who use this workbook and some are not advanced excel users.

The code should not get rid of the filters, just clear the filtered criteria when the workbook is closed so that it's reset back to showing all data when anyone opens it.

Hi
Try this in Thisworkbook code

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Dim i&
For i = 1 To Sheets.Count
 With Sheets(i)
        If .FilterMode = True Then .ShowAllData
    End With
Next
End Sub

The above code will crash if you have a Chart sheet - use Worksheets instead of Sheets. Also, save the workbook to preserve the changes

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
        If ws.AutoFilterMode Then ws.AutoFilter.ShowAllData
    Next
    ThisWorkbook.Save
End Sub
