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,

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
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.
