VBA 'Too many line continuations' error stopping macro from applying filter

[bgrice]

Hi. I have a workbook that copies a sheet from another workbook and applies some filters. The sheet contains about 3000 product lines. One of the filters I apply simply filters out any discontinued products where the options for the column are just 'discontinued', 'reinstated' or 'blank' and this works fine. However, I am trying to have the code apply a filter to a column that contains the prices of these products and to filter out any lines where the price is 0 (zero). While this is easy to do manually by just unchecking '0', I am having trouble getting it run through code. I have had a look at the code via the macro recorder and an error appears stating 'Too many line continuations.'

With 3000 product lines and each product potentially having a different price, the issue I believe is that the code wants to list all prices except 0 (zero) and with so many different prices it causes this error.

Is there any way to write the code to instruct it what to exclude i.e. just zero, as opposed to what to include i.e. everything other than zero?

I found that a similar question has been asked before but it doesn't appear to have a solution, or at least one that would work in this case.

You can filter for not 0 using the criteria "<>0"

Hi Fluff. Thank you. I can't seem it get it work though. The code I have, which is below, seems to just uncheck all options. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help.

Selection.AutoFilter Field:=4, Criteria1:="<>0"

That code should just remove any value that equals 0 & leave the rest visible.

Thank you. I have discovered the issue is that the numbers are stored as text. The solution worked once I corrected that. Much appreciated.
