Column A contains these values:

Rich (BB code):
Name
a
b
c
d
e

I want to filter some values, so use this:

Rich (BB code):
Range("A1).AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=Array("a", "b"), Operator:=xlFilterValues

which indeed does return the values a and b only.

Question 1.

Why does this return no values?

Rich (BB code):
Dim MyString As String

MyString = "a""" & ", " & """b"

Range("A1).AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=Array(MyString), Operator:=xlFilterValues


Question 2.

In reality, I want to filter on a number of criteria, eg: "a", "b", "c", ..... , "z", "aa", etc. so need to create an array (or possibly some other method).

Thanks
