Hello,
I don't know why the code is slow using advanced filter despite of my data is not big !
what happens if the data big , what if happens then?!
the code should filter data based on each month in J2 cell

VBA Code:
Sub test()
    Dim myMonths, x, r As Range, temp
    myMonths = "janfebmaraprmayjunjulaugsepoctnovdec"
    With Sheets("data")
        Set r = .[k1:k2]
        temp = r.Value: r.ClearContents
        x = Fix(InStr(1, myMonths, .[j2], 1) / 3 + 1)
        If x < 1 Then
            MsgBox "Invalid Entry", , .[j2]: Exit Sub
        Else
            If Sheets("result").Evaluate("count(if(month(a:a)=" & x & ",a:a))") Then
                MsgBox .[j2] & " is already filtered": Exit Sub
            End If
        End If
        r(2).Formula = "=month(a2)=" & x
        With .Cells(1).CurrentRegion
            .AdvancedFilter 1, r
            .Offset(1).Copy _
            Sheets("result").Range("a" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)(2)
        End With
        If .FilterMode Then .ShowAllData
        r.Value = temp
    End With
End Sub

I use advanced filter without loop should really fats that what I think.
I hope to experts help me to find efficient way using advanced filter to make fast and deal with big data(could be 20000 rows in DATA sheet).
 

Excel Facts

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
You are applying an array formula to the entire column. You could limit it to only the range that contains data:
You can also use the classic screenupdating = false

Rich (BB code):
Sub test()
    Dim myMonths, x, r As Range, temp
    Dim lr As Long
    
    myMonths = "janfebmaraprmayjunjulaugsepoctnovdec"
    With Sheets("data")
        Set r = .[k1:k2]
        temp = r.Value: r.ClearContents
        x = Fix(InStr(1, myMonths, .[j2], 1) / 3 + 1)
        If x < 1 Then
            MsgBox "Invalid Entry", , .[j2]: Exit Sub
        Else
          lr = Sheets("result").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(3).Row
            If Sheets("result").Evaluate("count(if(month(a1:a" & lr & ")=" & x & ",1))") Then
                MsgBox .[j2] & " is already filtered": Exit Sub
            End If
        End If
    
        Application.ScreenUpdating = False
        
        r(2).Formula = "=month(a2)=" & x
        With .Cells(1).CurrentRegion
            .AdvancedFilter 1, r
            .Offset(1).Copy _
            Sheets("result").Range("a" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)(2)
        End With
        If .FilterMode Then .ShowAllData
        r.Value = temp
        
        Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    End With
End Sub

Solution
Another option with autofilter to know if the month exists

VBA Code:
Sub test_2()
    Dim myMonths, x, r As Range, temp
    Dim lr As Long, n As Long
    Dim shR As Worksheet
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
    Set shR = Sheets("result")
    
    myMonths = "janfebmaraprmayjunjulaugsepoctnovdec"
    With Sheets("data")
        Set r = .[k1:k2]
        temp = r.Value: r.ClearContents
        x = Fix(InStr(1, myMonths, .[j2], 1) / 3 + 1)
        If x < 1 Then
            MsgBox "Invalid Entry", , .[j2]: Exit Sub
        Else
          lr = shR.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(3).Row
          n = 20 + x
          shR.Range("A1:E" & lr).AutoFilter 1, n, 11, 0, , 0
          lr = shR.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(3).Row
          shR.ShowAllData
          If lr > 1 Then
              MsgBox .[j2] & " is already filtered"
              Application.ScreenUpdating = False
              Exit Sub
          End If
        End If
    
        
        r(2).Formula = "=month(a2)=" & x
        With .Cells(1).CurrentRegion
            .AdvancedFilter 1, r
            .Offset(1).Copy _
            Sheets("result").Range("a" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)(2)
        End With
        If .FilterMode Then .ShowAllData
        r.Value = temp
        
        Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    End With
End Sub

Hi Dante ,

It was another option, it works for me.
But we are left with post #2 😅

Yes, that was exactly what I meant. Asked because I also don't get an issue with that line, and that error is common when you name a sub or a variable the same as a method or property VBA uses
