Say for example I have this table:
Untitled.png


How can I make it so that when I double click on the header "verb", it filters the table to show only the rows that contains X in that header's column. And when I double click on the header again the filters gets removed, and if I clicked on another header while the table is already filtered, it gets removed first before filtering it.

I used this VBA code:
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
   If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Range("A1:D1")) Is Nothing Then
      Cancel = True
      If Me.AutoFilterMode Then
         Me.AutoFilterMode = False
      Else
         Me.Range("A1:D1").AutoFilter Field:=Target.Column, Criteria1:="X"
      End If
   End If
End Sub

It works, however it doesn't remove the filter when I double click on the same header again, and it doesn't remove previous filters before filtering another column.

Any help would be much appreciated!
 

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
Managed to solve it with the help of ChatGPT.
Here if anyone needs it:
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
    Dim tbl As ListObject
    Dim filterRange As Range
    
    Set tbl = Me.ListObjects("Table1") ' Change "Table1" to the name of your table
    
    ' Check if the double-clicked cell is in the header row
    If Not Intersect(Target, tbl.HeaderRowRange) Is Nothing Then
        ' Determine the column index of the double-clicked header
        Dim colIndex As Long
        colIndex = Target.Column - tbl.HeaderRowRange.Column + 1
        
        ' Get the filter range for the column
        Set filterRange = tbl.ListColumns(colIndex).DataBodyRange
        
        ' Toggle filter
        If filterRange.Parent.AutoFilter.FilterMode Then
            filterRange.Parent.AutoFilter.ShowAllData
        Else
            Me.Range("A1:D1").AutoFilter Field:=Target.Column, Criteria1:="?"
        End If
        
        Cancel = True ' Prevent default behavior of double-click
    End If
End Sub
