Thanks Bernie

Does this macro define the current cell as the active cell... the macro
only works the first time & seems to capture the value of that first
run for it to do subsequent filters on... for example if I run this on
a cell with 0.00 value & then move to a different column it attempts to
filter on 0.00 not the new active cell
What I was trying to get to was a position where I can filter on a
value in one column & then move to another column & further filter on
that to "home in" on fewer & fewer rows,
I want to run subsequent runs of the same macro but with the criteria
defined in the active cell

Thanks again for the assistance...

Robin,

This is written with the assumption that you have only one contiguous data table filtered:

Sub FilterBasedOnActiveCellContents()
ActiveCell.CurrentRegion.AutoFilter _
Field:=ActiveCell.Column - ActiveCell.CurrentRegion.Cells(1).Column + 1, _
Criteria1:=ActiveCell.Value
End Sub

I have a spreadsheet that I already have autofilter activated on, what
I would like to do is have a macro that I can pop on my toolbar that
will filter the file based on the active cell contents, I had a macro
that did this in previous verison of excel but I somehow lost it during
migration to excel 2003 & cannot recreate it


Can anybody guide me on this

Appreciate it

Robin
