Mulitple Filter Selection
 

Hi,
I need to strenghten my code to allow the users to select 2 areas (or
columns) in which the filter would operate. I was able to do one, but can't
find a way to do more than one.

'
Dim Message, Title, MyValue
Dim ExactDate As Date
Dim ExactCriterion As String
Message = "Please Enter the Period, (00)"
Title = "Title"
MyValue = InputBox(Message, Title)

ExactCriterion = Format(ExactDate, "mm/dd/yy")

Range("Headers").AutoFilter
Range("Headers").AutoFilter Field:=6, Criteria1:=MyValue

Please help. Thanks.

A sheet can only have one filter applied. If you want multiple areas, use multiple sheets, or
combine the ranges and use multiple criteria (on different columns)

Bernie,
If I understood you correctly, there is no way that I can ask the user to
provide filter criteria? I can build a macro for variable selected filters,
see below.
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=6, Criteria1:="13"
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=7, Criteria1:="08"
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=9, Criteria1:="Direct"
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=11, Criteria1:="PBGCAN"
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=20, Criteria1:="<NA", Operator:=xlAnd

With this concept, can I have the user be prompt to type in a value for 2
different columns?

Any ideas?

No. You can ask easily:

Selection.AutoFilter Field:=6, Criteria1:=CStr(InputBox("Criteria for Field 1"))
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=7, Criteria1:=CStr(InputBox("Criteria for Field 2"))

etc...

Bernie,
Through some trial and error, I managed to pull it off. Here is the code I
used.
Dim Message, Title, MyValuePeriod
Dim ExactDate As Date
Message = "Please Enter the Period, (00)"
Title = "Title"
MyValuePeriod = InputBox(Message, Title)
Range("Headers").AutoFilter
Range("Headers").AutoFilter Field:=6, Criteria1:=MyValuePeriod


Message = "Please Enter the Year Reported, (00)"
Title = "Title"
MyValueYear = InputBox(Message, Title)
Range("Headers").AutoFilter Field:=7, Criteria1:=MyValueYear
End Sub

Thoughts?
