Filters Object

  • Article
Excel Developer Reference

A collection of Filter objects that represents all the filters in an autofiltered range.

Example

Use the Filters property to return the Filters collection. The following example creates a list that contains the criteria and operators for the filters in the autofiltered range on the Crew worksheet.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Dim f As Filter
Dim w As Worksheet
Const ns As String = "Not set"

Set w = Worksheets("Crew")
Set w2 = Worksheets("FilterData")
rw = 1
For Each f In w.AutoFilter.Filters
If f.On Then
c1 = Right(f.Criteria1, Len(f.Criteria1) - 1)
If f.Operator Then
op = f.Operator
c2 = Right(f.Criteria2, Len(f.Criteria2) - 1)
Else
op = ns
c2 = ns
End If
Else
c1 = ns
op = ns
c2 = ns
End If
w2.Cells(rw, 1) = c1
w2.Cells(rw, 2) = op
w2.Cells(rw, 3) = c2
rw = rw + 1
Next

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
