Is it posible in VBA to find out which column is filtered ?

[leogetz97]

Hi,

I have a sheet with an autofilter applied.

Is it possible to write to a cell which filters are applied?

I already found out how to read the criterian :

Dim f as filter

For Each f In Me.AutoFilter.Filters
If f.On Then
MsgBox (f.Criteria1)
End If
next

BUT, this is not suitable. I only need the know the Column name , not the creterian, of each column in this autofilter if its filtered.

Thanks!

Is VBA needed?

Leo,

I'm not sure what you want to do. But if you want to know what columns are filtered while looking at the report, then look at the tiny tiny arrow next to the auto-filered column name. If it is Blue then there is a filtered applied in that column.

I must admit, because it is small you can overlook the color. I was the same way until someone pointed it out.

Hope that hellped

Try something like this:

Sub GetColumns()
   Dim Sht As Worksheet
   Dim i As Long
   
   Set Sht = ActiveSheet
   
   With Sht.AutoFilter
      For i = 1 To .Filters.Count
         If .Filters(i).On Then
            MsgBox .Range(1, i).Column
         End If
      Next i
   End With
End Sub
