I have a macro with this code:
Dim i As Long
Dim BMP As Variant
Dim EMP As Variant
Dim RSE As String * 25
For i = 3 To 3
RSE = Worksheets(1).Range("F" & i).Value
BMP = Worksheets(1).Range("D" & i).Value
EMP = Worksheets(1).Range("E" & i).Value
Sheets("TSTF").Select
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=RSE
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:="=BMP", Operator:=xlAnd, _
Criteria2:="<=EMP"
Range("A2:M13806").Select
Selection.Copy
etc. etc.

BMP and EMP are reading numbers like 2.57 and 5.14. If i put those numbers
where the variables are in the critereria code, it works. Why won't it work
with the variables? RSE is working but not BMP and EMP. thank you

Criteria1:="=BMP" is literally looking for greater or equal to the letters
B M P. You need
Criteria1:="" & BMP

similarly for <=EMP -- Criteria2:="<=" & EMP

Thank you, that worked! Why does RSE work one way and BMP and EMP work a
different way?

This line:

Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=RSE
is treating RSE as a variable.

If you had used similar syntax, you would have had the same kind of problem:

Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="=RSE"
(would fail)

Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="=" & RSE
(would work)
