Macro to filter out lines
 

Hi I have written some macros and im having a problem excludinjg certain
lines in my worksheet.

I use the filter option. But I want to be able to filter out lines that
have"*" in them using a macro.

How do I change the filter to "not equal" ?

Macro to filter out lines
 

it's hard to say what you want.

..AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:="<", Operator:=xlAnd

but i suggest you do a replace of the asterisk because it's a valid
wildcard. i used the ! here.

ActiveSheet.Range("$A$5:$K$228").AutoFilter Field:=5, Criteria1:= _
"<*" & "!" & "*", Operator:=xlAnd
this would filter all records that do not have an !.

Macro to filter out lines
 

Either use:
Equals (or does not equal):
~*
(for an exact match of the asterisk)

Or use:
Contains (or does not contain):
~*

The tilde tells excel to treat the asterisk as an asterisk--not a wild card.

Same thing with the single character ? (use ~?) and tilde ~ (use ~~).

And Edit|Find uses the same technique, too.
