Macro Filter Column by two different values - Excel












1














There's a few questions on this topic. I've tried a few ways and can't seem to get it working.



I've got an auto-copy script working that takes specific values from one sheet and copies them to another sheet. This works fine if I copy on one value but I cant get it to work when adding a second value. So copy value1 or value2. Below is my code



Sub FilterAndCopy()
Dim rng As Range, sht1 As Worksheet, sht2 As Worksheet

Set sht1 = Worksheets("LOG")
Set sht2 = Worksheets("P Or A")

sht2.UsedRange.ClearContents

With Intersect(sht1.Columns("B:BP"), sht1.UsedRange)
.Cells.EntireColumn.Hidden = False ' unhide columns
If .Parent.AutoFilterMode Then .Parent.AutoFilterMode = False
.AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:="P"
.AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:="A"


Bassed off other questions, I have tried to add the following:



1) Operator:=xlFilterValues,
2) Operator:=xlOr,


But it doesn't work. Is something else hindering the script?

  • I'd suggest using the macro recorder to record the steps you take as you perform the task manually, and then you can edit the code that Excel generates to fine tune it as necessary. See: Recording a Macro to Generate Code and Revising Recorded Visual Basic Macros.

From my knowledge, you can only use the filter option for up to 2 criteria. Anything outside of that you need arrays..



To do this, I assume your headers are in the range B:BP on row 1. and the field you want to filter on is col B



sht1.Range("B1:BP1").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="P", Operator:=xlOr, Criteria2:="A"


Give that a go.. Change the range/headers where aplicable and also the field number has to change for which col you are basing the filter on.
