I'm trying to use this ShowFilter UDF written by Tom Ogilvy (see bottom of
post). It says to use...

=showfilter(B2)&CHAR(SUBTOTAL(9,B3)*0+32)

....in a cell to show the criteria for Column B. For one thing, I don't
understand the cells B2 and B3 business. What is supposed to be in those
cells?

I would like this function to appear in the cell directly above or below the
Autofilter menu cell. How do I change the function if the Autofilter criteria
menu is in, cell A3, for example, and I want the criteria (this function) to
appear just above, in cell A2?

After trying all sorts of things in different cells, the only thing I would
get is the #VALUE error.

Thanks for your help.

If Intersect(rng.EntireColumn, frng) Is Nothing Then
ShowFilter = CVErr(xlErrRef)
Else
lngOff = rng.Column - frng.Columns(1).Column + 1
If Not sh.AutoFilter.Filters(lngOff).On Then
ShowFilter = "No Conditions"
Else
Set filt = sh.AutoFilter.Filters(lngOff)
On Error Resume Next
