I am attempting to write a macro that incorporates an advanced filter
to search by ~100 criteria, across a list of ~200 columns x3000 rows.

Is there a way to implement this without running an advanced filter
with the same 100 criteria copied across 200 columns, one to match
each column in my list?

I'm not clear on what you are asking. In any case, some columns can
have no criteria.

I would like to use advanced filters (or something similar) to
essentially do this:

Here are my 100 criteria, display every row that
contains one of them in the spreadsheet.



Currently all I know how to do is:

Here are my 100 criteria, display every instance of them
in a specific column

and repeat that for every single column, which with 200
columns makes for a very nasty advanced filter



Thanks in advance!

That's a little more specific. Alright, suppose A1:E10 is filled with
random numbers between 1 and 100, and you want to display a row only
if it contains one of the numbers in A13:D13. Then the folowing will
do that.

Sub MyFilter()
Dim rngCrit As Range
Dim c As Range
Dim bFound As Boolean
Dim iRow As Integer
Dim iCol As Integer
Dim ws As Worksheet

UndoMyFilter
Set ws = Sheets("Sheet1")
Set rngCrit = ws.Range("A13:D13")
For iRow = 1 To 10
bFound = False
For iCol = 1 To 5
For Each c In rngCrit
If ws.Cells(iRow, iCol) = c Then
bFound = True
Exit For
End If
Next c
Next iCol
If bFound = False Then ws.Rows(iRow).Hidden = True
Next iRow
End Sub

Sub UndoMyFilter()
Sheets("Sheet1").Rows("1:10").Hidden = False
End Sub

That's perfect!!

Thanks for your help!
