why does this macro delete the value in A1?
 

I cobbled together the following macro, which does the following:
1) parses a 20,000 record table according to some criteria,
2) filters on those records for which the criteria are met, and
3) copies and pastes the filtered records to a new workbook.

My question is this: the number of rows in the source table will change
depending on what time of the month I download it from the server. How can I
adjust this macro to be dynamic, in terms of the number of rows over which
the filter criteria are applied?

Following is the code:

If ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode = True Then

ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
End If

Somehow I put the wrong subject line on this post. Sorry, ignore that. The
question I have is below.
