I am using this right now and it works but, sometimes criteria 1 field 10=field11=field12 and then it will either return an error or will bring up only the first occurrence. For this occasion, I need to add a fourth .autofilter which you can see commented out below. If I leave it in, nothing gets returned because it is looking for all four values. The fourth criteria is only needed in rare occasions so I would not normally have someone enter a value into that cell unless they get an error with the three conditions they entered. That would be how they know that they need to supply the fourth condition. I am not sure how to write that so that it will work all the time with or without the fourth condition.


Sub FindRightCell()

With Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A1")

.AutoFilter Field:=10, Criteria1:="*" & Worksheets("Line Update").Range("C5") & "*"
.AutoFilter Field:=11, Criteria1:="*" & Worksheets("Line Update").Range("C6") & "*"
.AutoFilter Field:=12, Criteria1:=Worksheets("Line Update").Range("C7")
'.AutoFilter field:=13, Criteria1:=Worksheets("Line Update").Range("F6")

End With


Worksheets("Line Update").Range("B11").Value = Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("B2:B685").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
Worksheets("Line Update").Range("B12").Value = Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("C2:C685").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
Worksheets("Line Update").Range("B13").Value = Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("D2:D685").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
Worksheets("Line Update").Range("B14").Value = Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("E2:E685").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
Worksheets("Line Update").Range("B15").Value = Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("F2:F685").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
Worksheets("Line Update").Range("B16").Value = Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("G2:G685").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
Worksheets("Line Update").Range("B17").Value = Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("H2:H685").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
Worksheets("Line Update").Range("B18").Value = Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("I2:I685").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)

Dim LR As Long
LR = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Range("A2:P" & LR).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Select

'With ActiveSheet.Worksheet("Sheet2").Rows("2:3").Select
With Selection.Interior
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.ColorIndex = 34
.TintAndShade = 0
.PatternTintAndShade = 0
End With
 

Excel Facts

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
Slight correction to above, I do not get an error when I do my autofiltering, excel actually pulls up all four rows but I only want it to pull up the right one via the fourth autofilter.

I would simply wrap the fourth filter inside an IF statement, something like:

VBA Code:
If <certain condition is/isn't met> Then
    .AutoFilter field:=13, Criteria1:=Worksheets("Line Update").Range("F6")
End If

That way, the fourth filter only gets applied when that "rare occasion" happens.

Kevin, I can try this, is there a way to autofilter again if there is more than one line showing after the filters are applied?

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you're asking. Could you provide some before-and-after samples of data to explain what you mean?
