Hello,

My task is to filter a somewhat large dataset by project codes and by employee names. This is a really easy task to do in Power Query but I need to develop a tool in VBA that can automate it for people who don't know how to use excel much.
The goal is to give a keyword to look for in a col. (not formatted as a table, so just rows of data) and to create a new mini dataset (in a new tab for now) that has been filtered with that keyword.

The end goal is to do the following: filter and create a new dataset (task mentioned above), convert it to a Pivot table and Pivot Pie Chart, create a new Excel file and paste what was created in that new file. Is it possible to automate all that in VBA? Nonetheless, for now, I need to focus on filtering the data, so please help me out, thanks :)
 

Excel Facts

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying

What is the name of the sheet containing the data to be filtered?

What is the name of the sheet where the filtered data is to be placed?

What column contains the keyword?

Can you post some data using XL2BB?

Maybe it is possible to define a template based on PQ, and just automate the query update via VBA. Much cleaner, faster and easier.

Hey, thanks for your quick reply!

Found some VBA code that was a little similar to what I needed and got Chat gpt to tweak it a little.

Thanks anyway :)
