[ISO/IEC 29500-1 1st Edition]

18.3.1.2 autoFilter (AutoFilter Settings)

AutoFilter temporarily hides rows based on a filter criteria, which is applied column by column to a table of data in the worksheet. This collection expresses AutoFilter settings.

[Example:This example expresses a filter indicating to 'show only values greater than 0.5'. The filter is being applied to the range B3:E8, and the criteria is being applied to values in the column whose colId='1' (zero based column numbering, from left to right). Therefore any rows must be hidden if the value in that particular column is less than or equal to 0.5.

<autoFilter ref="B3:E8">
<filterColumn colId="1">
<customFilters>
<customFilter operator="greaterThan" val="0.5"/>
</customFilters>
</filterColumn>
</autoFilter>

end example]
