Hello, I want to find out if this code below here can be made to load the data into a listbox instead of pasting it to the sheet. My knowledge is limited with the how. Thanks in advance.


Code:
Sub FilterDates()
  Dim rCrit As Range  
  Sheets("HOME").UsedRange.ClearContents
  With Sheets(“DATA”).UsedRange
    Set rCrit = .Offset(, .Columns.Count).Resize(2, 1)
    rCrit.Cells(2).Formula = "=SEARCH(TEXT(C2,""dd""),F2)"
    '.AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterInPlace, CriteriaRange:=rCrit, Unique:=False
    .AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CriteriaRange:=rCrit, copytorange:=Sheets("HOME").Range("B1"), Unique:=False
  End With
  rCrit.Cells(2, 1).ClearContents
End Sub

Amend reference to listbox as required

Code:
Sub FilterDates()
    Dim rCrit As Range
    Sheets("HOME").UsedRange.ClearContents
    With Sheets("DATA").UsedRange
        Set rCrit = .Offset(, .Columns.Count).Resize(2, 1)
        rCrit.Cells(2).Formula = "=SEARCH(TEXT(C2,""dd""),F2)"
        .AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterInPlace, CriteriaRange:=rCrit, Unique:=False
    End With
    rCrit.Cells(2, 1).ClearContents
[COLOR=#006400][I]'empty and re-populate Listbox[/I][/COLOR]
    With [COLOR=#ff0000]Sheets("SheetName").ListBox1[/COLOR]
        Do While .ListCount > 0
            .RemoveItem 0
        Loop
        .List = Sheets("Data").UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Value
    End With
End Sub

I did these amendment to fit my work. But it is not getting me the actual result needed. The rows 1 to 6 are all headers . The actual data starts from row 7 (A7). And I am trying to filter all January dates hence that ""01"" . Let me know if I am doing something wrongly.

Code:
Sub FilterDates()
    Dim rCrit As Range
    With Sheets("DATA").UsedRange
        Set rCrit = .Offset(, .Columns.Count).Resize([B]7[/B][COLOR=#333333], 1)[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]
[/COLOR]        rCrit.Cells([B]7[/B]).Formula = [B]"=SEARCH(TEXT(""01"",""mm""),A7)"[/B]
        .AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterInPlace, CriteriaRange:=rCrit, Unique:=False
    End With
    rCrit.Cells([B]7[/B], 1).ClearContents
[COLOR=#006400][I]'empty and re-populate Listbox[/I][/COLOR]
    With [COLOR=#ff0000]Sheets("SheetName").ListBox1[/COLOR]
        Do While .ListCount > 0
            .RemoveItem 0
        Loop
        .List = Sheets("Data").UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Value
    End With
End Sub

Also the listbox is loading the data with different format than how my data looks in the database. I tried using ".Text" instead of ".Value" but didn't work.

For example my dates are in the form "dd-mm-yy" but it's loading "dd-mmm-yy".

This works with my test data

Code:
Sub FilterDates()
    Dim rCrit As Range, rng As Range, r As Long, c As Long, LBox As OLEObject
    Sheets("HOME").UsedRange.ClearContents
    Set rng = Sheets("DATA").UsedRange
    Set LBox = [I][COLOR=#ff0000]Sheets("SheetName").OLEObjects("ListBox1")[/COLOR][/I]
    
    With rng
        Set rCrit = .Offset(, .Columns.Count).Resize(2, 1)
        rCrit.Cells(2).Formula = "=SEARCH(TEXT(C2,""dd""),F2)"
        .AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterInPlace, CriteriaRange:=rCrit, Unique:=False
    End With
    rCrit.Cells(2, 1).ClearContents
[I][COLOR=#006400]'empty and re-populate listbox[/COLOR][/I]
    With LBox.Object
        Do While .ListCount > 0
            .RemoveItem 0
        Loop
        Set rng = rng.Offset(6).Resize(rng.Rows.Count - 6, .ColumnCount)      [I] [COLOR=#006400] 'takes no of columns from ListBox[/COLOR][/I]
        Set rng = rng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
        .List = rng.Value
            For r = 0 To .ListCount - 1
                For c = 0 To .ColumnCount - 1
                  .List(r, c) = rng.Cells(r + 1, c + 1).Text
                Next c
            Next r
    End With
End Sub

Great! ! ! It's working fine. Actually the listbox is on a userform instead of a worksheet. I have fix that.


The only issue I have is that the formula I have there is not doing my intention. It's loading all the data into the listbox.

That code is a code I used for a different thing and I am trying to amend it to do a new thing but I think what I am thinking the code will do is far from what's doing.

This is how I want to filter the data:

Code:
rCrit.Cells([B]7[/B]).Formula = [B]"=SEARCH(TEXT(""01"",""mm""),B7)"


[/B]So from this formula I was hoping it will filter all dates in January from column B. I just had the impression that's different from the code is actually doing.

I wish this can be fixed. I am finding it challenging understanding this filtering thing.

Dates are tricky to filter
- there are various ways to get there
- here is one method I use to filter between 2 dates

In example code below (which does not attempt to tie into your code)
- a valid date in cell D1 filters all dates in column B to display only those dates in same month and year as D1
- eg only January 2019 rows are visible if date in D1 is 7 Jan 2019
- do not amend the format of date text to local (US format works!)
Code:
Sub AutoFilter_All_Dates_For_Month()
    Dim Crit1 As String, Crit2 As String, cel As Range
    Set cel = Range("[COLOR=#ff0000]D1[/COLOR]")

    Crit1 = ">=" & Format(DateSerial(Year(cel), Month(cel), 1), "mm/dd/yyyy")           'first day of month of date in D1
    Crit2 = "<" & Format(DateSerial(Year(cel), Month(cel) + 1, 1), "mm/dd/yyyy")        'last day of month of date in D1
    
    Range("A1").CurrentRegion.AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:=Crit1, Operator:=xlAnd, Criteria2:=Crit2
End Sub

End Sub


Cool! !! Very brilliant.

I love this, I will find a way to use some tricks in switching between years.


So now how do we get the filtered data into the listbox as before?

Then remove the filter.

how do we .... remove the filter?

by using range variable rng (previously set earlier in the macro)

Add this at end of the code
Code:
On Error Resume Next
rng.Parent.ShowAllData

Cool!


Thanks for your patience
