Autofilter always includes last line of data irrespective of filter
Hi Guys,
Sorry if this question has been asked/answered before but I couldn't see it easily in a search. I have a problem with autofilter in one particular worksheet, not all of them. In using autofilter via VBA I seem to get the last line of the datatable irrespective of the criterion selected, i.e. in 613 rows of dataI might get rows 34,45,67,98 which relate to my criterion but then I get row 613 tagged on at the end. It happens for all my selections. I've tried three different fixes and none worked 1) naming the exact range from row 5 (headers) column1 to row 613 col 22 as "dfilter1" and then using Sheet12.Range("dfilter1").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="Australia" 2) increasing the range dimensions to include rows beyond the last row of data (i.e. lower row is now 615 not 613) 3) Including rows 5 to 65536 in my range name I've also tried setting autoflter manually and still no joy. I've never had this problem before - anyone else had it and sorted it? Thanks Peter |
Autofilter always includes last line of data irrespective of filter
Next time you apply a filter to that range, notice that the dropdown arrow has
changed color to blue for that column. And the row indicators for the range that's filtered are blue. But that last row that shows up, but doesn't match the filter as a row indicator of black/normal. This means that that row is not part of the filter range. I don't think I've ever seen this happen when applying the filter manually--but it has happened when I applied the filter via code. My not-so-pretty workaround.... I'd add a dummy value to the row under the last real row. I'd apply data|filter to the new range (including that dummy row). I'd clearcontents in that dummy cell. Yep. If I filtered to show blanks, I'd see that extra row. (And there would also be the (Blanks) option in the autofilter dropdown list--but I could live with that ugliness.) And it didn't happen in every workbook--but it seemed to happen in workbook that was built every morning from a text file. I finally gave up and just did that workaround.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the suggestion - I've tried that and it seems to work. Because my selections are driven by a user selecting a criterion from a combo down box elsewhere I don't have to worry about the blanks. I'm still puzzled as to the "why" but not so much that I intend to ignore your workaround!

Also, if you have a Subtotal formula in the last row of the table, that
row is excluded from the filter, and always remains visible. Dave Peterson wrote: I think the technical response to the "why" question is: "because". <vbg (I got nothing that'll help!)

Unless I do something to include that row in the filtered range, right?
But I do have to do something weird--like add something in the cell under the "Grand total" row, apply the filter and clean up that cell.
