Hello,

I'm looking to see if there is a way to combine multiple string values to validate against in a more concise way than I am currently.
I use a macro that clears all filters. However, there are three Tables in particular that I often want to Sort afterwards.
Maybe I can use an array with those three string values. Something that says IF the TableName is any of the following: ("tblBooks", "tblStudents", "tblMSBs") Then Sort
Although I can achieve these results with the following, I was hoping I didn't have to list them three times:
VBA Code:
Sub ClearFilters()
   
    'Clear Filters
    On Error Resume Next
    ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
   
    'Sort by Title
    Dim TableName As String
    TableName = ActiveCell.ListObject.Name
    If TableName = "tblBooks" Or _
            TableName = "tblStudents" Or _
            TableName = "tblMSBs" Then
        SortTitle 'Calling Sub
        ActiveWindow.ScrollRow = 1
        ActiveSheet.ListObjects(1).HeaderRowRange(1).Select
    End If
   
End Sub

Thank you,

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
This doesn't apply to my main topic. Just wanted to add that I moved the following after End If
VBA Code:
ActiveWindow.ScrollRow = 1
ActiveSheet.ListObjects(1).HeaderRowRange(1).Select
This way the window still scrolls back to the top and the first Header cell is selected.
