Filter based on multiple conditions but stop once one is met

[naninamu]

Hi, someone asked me at work if it's possible to set up multiple advanced filtering conditions, but only to apply them u

For instance, say I had a table with the headers Fruit and Colour and Country

In advanced filtering, I set out my conditions:

1) Fruit must be an apple or orange
2) Fruit must be red
3) Fruit must be from Australia

Say nothing matches condition 1), so it then looks at condition 2. It finds red fruit, so it ONLY FILTERS THE TABLE BASED ON THIS, even though there is non-red Australian fruit in the table.

ie - it has stopped filtering as a true condition was found.

I have no idea if this can be done through Advanced Filtering, a formula or something else I don't know about - can anyone help?

Thanks!!

Try this VBA option on a copy of your worksheet (tested on the table shown)

Sub Halting_Filter()
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Set ws = Worksheets("Sheet1")       '<-- *** Change to actual sheet name ***
    If ws.AutoFilterMode Then ws.AutoFilter.ShowAllData
    With ws.Range("A1").CurrentRegion
        .AutoFilter 1, "apple", 2, "orange"
        .AutoFilter 2, "red"
        If .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Address = .Rows(1).Address Then
            ws.AutoFilter.ShowAllData
                .AutoFilter 2, "red"
            Else
                .AutoFilter 3, "Australia"
            If .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Address <> .Rows(1).Address Then
                .AutoFilter 3, "Australia"
            End If
        End If
    End With
End Sub

Another option to try:
I'm using @kevin9999 example, but the result is different.

Sub naninamu_1()

With Range("A1").CurrentRegion
    .AutoFilter
    If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(.Columns(1), "apple") + WorksheetFunction.CountIf(.Columns(1), "orange") > 0 Then
        .AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="apple", Operator:=xlOr, Criteria2:="orange"
    
    ElseIf WorksheetFunction.CountIf(.Columns(2), "red") > 0 Then
        .AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:="red"
    
    ElseIf WorksheetFunction.CountIf(.Columns(3), "Australia") > 0 Then
        .AutoFilter Field:=3, Criteria1:="Australia"
    End If

End With
End Sub

Book1
	A	B	C
1	Fruit	Colour	Country
2	Apple	Red	Australia
3	Orange	Orange	UK
4	Banana	Yellow	USA
5	Apple	Red	New Zealand

7	Banana	Yellow	USA
8	Apple	Red	Australia
9	Orange	Orange	Korea

Result:

3	Orange	Orange	UK
5	Apple	Red	New Zealand
6	Orange	Orange	Korea

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I will need to take some time to understand and how it all works, but appreciate both of your help with my problem!
