To show the value that has been selected in the AutoFilter dropdown, you
can create a User Defined Function. Tom Ogilvy posted the following
function, that returns the criteria from a column in an autofiltered
table. It will show both criteria if there are two, and includes the
operator.

Public Function ShowFilter(rng As Range)
'UDF that displays the filter criteria.
'posted by Tom Ogilvy 1/17/02
'To make it respond to a filter change, tie it to the subtotal command.
'=showfilter(B2)&CHAR(SUBTOTAL(9,B3)*0+32)
'So the above would show the criteria for column B

Dim filt As Filter
Dim sCrit1 As String
Dim sCrit2 As String
Dim sop As String
Dim lngOp As Long
Dim lngOff As Long
Dim frng As Range
Dim sh As Worksheet
Set sh = rng.Parent
If sh.FilterMode = False Then
ShowFilter = "No Active Filter"
Exit Function
End If
Set frng = sh.AutoFilter.Range

If Intersect(rng.EntireColumn, frng) Is Nothing Then
ShowFilter = CVErr(xlErrRef)
Else
lngOff = rng.Column - frng.Columns(1).Column + 1
If Not sh.AutoFilter.Filters(lngOff).On Then
ShowFilter = "No Conditions"
Else
Set filt = sh.AutoFilter.Filters(lngOff)
On Error Resume Next

sop = ""

End If
End If
End Function

Hi,

I have a database list that I apply the AutoFilter to, eg "Dec" to
displat December's data.

Even though it's obvious what month is displayed, is there any way to
have a cell display the value of the filter, in this case "Dec"
displayed in a cell?
