Autofilter
I have a very large data of names autofiltered.
I learned to drop down, then, write the first letter and go alphabetically by that letter if I want to. However, in some letters ( ex R) they are a lot of names starting with R. Before doing autofilter, I have to work down the worksheet column by column and then autofilter to find all names that are the same. This is complicate it to explain but here goes : Is there any way or trick I could use that, when my ACTIVE CELL says for example RANEIRO, then going to drop down in the top autofilter and select all RANEIRO instead of looking it in the extense dropdown list. THANKS |

Maybe you could use a helper column and one of the techniques at Debra

Autofilter
There's a sample file here that uses programming to filter by the
selected value: http://www.contextures.com/excelfiles.html Under Filters, look for 'FL0021 - FilterClick' In the sample file, click on a cell in the filter range to filter that column by the selected value. Click on a column heading to remove that column's filter. computexcel wrote: I have a very large data of names autofiltered.

YES, THAT'S IT.
Exactly what I need. How can I do this, I'm sure is thru VBA.

Thanks for your help Dave, information and website are very useful for me,
however the issue goes to "quicker filtering" and probably will need VBA.

The code checks the On/Off cell to see if it should run the code.
Copy that cell to your worksheet to, and name it FilterStatus.

The error was already stated it.
However I just missed to copy and paste the ON/OFF cell and name it. Now it works perfectly. Thanks Debra.
