Does anyone know if it is possible to use autofilter on a hidden worksheet. I
know that as a workaround I can make it visible, do the do, and then make it
hidden again, but out of curiosity I wondered whether this is some sort of
restriction??

We've tried several methods without any success.

Any help greatly appreciated

You can filter on a hidden sheet but not a protected one unless you allow
filtering. What methods have you tried?

Our code looks something like this:

Worksheets("BPNO_CPSCII").Activate
Range("A1:G1").Select
Selection.AutoFilter
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="<*" & CPSC & "*"

BUT when it runs it filters the currently visible sheet and NOT the hidden
one (BPNO_CPSCII) as required

Yes but you cannot activate a hidden sheet.

Change your code to

With Worksheets("BPNO_CPSCII").Range("A1:G1")
.AutoFilter
.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="<*" & CPSC & "*"
End With


In general you never need to select before acting on a worksheet or its
objects.

You can't activate a hidden sheet. But the good thing is that you don't need
to.

with Worksheets("BPNO_CPSCII")
.autofiltermode = false 'remove any existing filter.
.Range("A1:G1").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="<*" & CPSC & "*"
end with
