Filter Object

  • Article
Excel Developer Reference

Represents a filter for a single column.

Remarks

The Filter object is a member of the Filters collection. The Filters collection contains all the filters in an autofiltered range.

Example

Use Filters(

index

), where

index

is the filter title or index number, to return a single Filter object. The following example sets a variable to the value of the On property of the filter for the first column in the filtered range on the Crew worksheet.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Set w = Worksheets("Crew")
If w.AutoFilterMode Then
    filterIsOn = w.AutoFilter.Filters(1).On
End If

Note that all the properties of the Filter object are read-only. To set these properties, apply autofiltering manually or using the AutoFilter method of the Range object, as shown in the following example.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Set w = Worksheets("Crew")
w.Cells.AutoFilter field:=2, Criteria1:="Crucial", _
    Operator:=xlOr, Criteria2:="Important"
