Good afternoon,

I've been using Ron de Bruin's code below to perform an auto filter on one
worksheet and copy/paste the results into another sheet. The auto filter, when
run, will display a message box in which the user will input the auto filter
criteria. This works perfectly, however, I need to make one small change...I
need to provide a combo box with preset (they will not change) options to
choose
from, rather than a blank space to type in the filter criteria. My current
code
is below.


Option Explicit

Sub CreateMarketingElectionReport()
'Note: This macro use the function LastRow
'Important: The DestSh must exist
Dim My_Range As Range
Dim DestSh As Worksheet
Dim CalcMode As Long
Dim ViewMode As Long
Dim FilterCriteria As String
Dim CCount As Long
Dim rng As Range

'Set filter range
Set My_Range = Worksheets("Marketing
Elections").Range("A4:Z" &
LastRow(Worksheets("Marketing
Elections")))

'Set the destination worksheet
Set DestSh = Sheets("Marketing Election Report")

If ActiveWorkbook.ProtectStructure = True Or My_Range.Parent.ProtectContents =
True Then
MsgBox "Sorry, that feature is not available when the workbook is
protected.", vbOKOnly, "Copy to new worksheet"
Exit Sub
End If

'Change ScreenUpdating, Calculation, EnableEvents, ....
With Application
CalcMode = .Calculation
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
End With
ViewMode = ActiveWindow.View
ActiveWindow.View = xlNormalView
ActiveSheet.DisplayPageBreaks = False

'Firstly, remove the AutoFilter
My_Range.Parent.AutoFilterMode = False

'If you want to filter on a Inputbox value use this
FilterCriteria = InputBox("What type of election do you need info
for?", _
"Enter election type")
If FilterCriteria = "" Then Exit Sub
FilterCriteria = Replace(FilterCriteria, "*", "")
FilterCriteria = "*" & FilterCriteria & "*"
My_Range.AutoFilter Field:=22, Criteria1:="=" & FilterCriteria


'Check if there are not more then 8192 areas(limit of areas that Excel can
copy)
CCount = 0
On Error Resume Next
CCount =
My_Range.Columns(1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible ).Areas(1).Cells.Count
On Error GoTo 0
If CCount = 0 Then
MsgBox "There are more than 8192 areas:" _
& vbNewLine & "It is not possible to copy the visible data."
_
& vbNewLine & "Tip: Sort your data before you use this
macro.", _
vbOKOnly, "Copy to worksheet"
Else
'Copy the visible data and use PasteSpecial to paste to the Destsh
With My_Range.Parent.AutoFilter.Range
On Error Resume Next
' Set rng to the visible cells in My_Range without the header row
Set rng = .Offset(1, 0).Resize(.Rows.Count - 1, .Columns.Count) _
.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
On Error GoTo 0
If Not rng Is Nothing Then
'Copy and paste the cells into DestSh below the existing data
rng.Copy
With DestSh.Range("A" & LastRow(DestSh) + 1)
' Paste:=8 will copy the columnwidth in Excel 2000 and higher
' Remove this line if you use Excel 97
'.PasteSpecial Paste:=8
.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
' .PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End With
'Delete the rows in the My_Range.Parent worksheet
'rng.EntireRow.Delete
End If
End With
End If

'Close AutoFilter
'My_Range.Parent.AutoFilterMode = False
My_Range.Parent.ShowAllData

'Restore ScreenUpdating, Calculation, EnableEvents, ....

With Application
.EnableEvents = True
.Calculation = CalcMode
Dim endrange As Long
End With
Call CopyMarketingElectionReport

End Sub


I have created a Userform "frmChooseElection" which provides the
drop
down for the user to select their criteria. However, I'm not sure how to tie
in
my userform into the code above.

Any help is tremendously appreciated, I've been working on this for over a
week
without figuring it out yet.

Hi

Without using a form, but using a row above the header (filter) row, take a
look at some code I wrote called Fast Filter and see is that helps you any.
You can find it on Debra Dalgleish's site
http://www.contextures.com/excelfilesRoger.html

I have a slightly updated version of it, which has not yet been posted to
the site, which you are welcome to if you mail me direct.

I downloaded your sheet and took a look at it. It's definitely neat and
something I'm going to hang onto to use, however it doesn't help me much with
what I need to do for this particular situation.

What I have is a sheet that's titled "Reports" that has buttons tied
to macros that will perform autofilters on other sheets, and copy/paste that
data into a separate workbook for the users. I am the only person who
actually
uses the data sheets. Since your code would require the users to use the data
sheets instead of the Reports page with the buttons, I'm not sure it's the
solution I'm looking for.

I just need to figure out how to change Scenario A (below) to Scenario B
(below
Scenario A):

SCENARIO A (what's currently happening):
The user clicks a button and a message box pops up where they type in
criteria,
then click "OK" and the auto filter is performed, then the data is
copied and pasted into a new workbook. (See code previously posted to see how
it's currently doing this.)

SCENARIO B (what I need to happen):
The user clicks a button and a message box pops up where they select the
criteria via a dropdown box, then click "OK" and the auto filter is
performed, then the data is copied and pasted into a new workbook. The reason
I
need the dropdown box is because there are only a set number of options they
can
choose from (6 to be exact), and the options are similar in wording and
spelling, so it's imperative that they spell it exactly as it appears in the
list, otherwise the filter results could be skewed.

Any suggestions?
