VBA Tutorial - Turn Off Autofilter

I have several sheets that i am reading in. 95% of the sheets do NOT have autofilter turned on but about 5% of them have autofilter turned on.

How to detect if autofilter is turned on?

How to turn it off if it is on?

using vba..........

Hello All,

I need help with some VBA.

I have written a macro which utilises Autofilters, but it seems to fail when autofilter is already turned on (even without criteria) before the macro is run.

Is there vba code to turn of any autofilers (if any exists)?
I'd like to stick this at the front of my macro to prevent this error from happening...

Thanks in advanced!

When I record a macro and turn Autofilter on and off it seems to behave as follows (like a flip-flop switch)

If its on, it will be turned off - Selection.AutoFilter

It it is off, it will be turned on - Selection.AutoFilter

I want to make sure it is OFF, since issuing Selection.AutoFilter may do either. Can I query the state of the filter and then decide?

How can I turn autofilter off if it is on?

This will toggle it on or off but I how can I automatically chech the status of it. I need the macro to be able to turn it off.

Code:

Columns("A:A").Select
    Selection.AutoFilter

How do I turn off autofilter?

I entered

ActiveSheet.Autofilter = false

and that doesn't work. I tried

ActiveSheet.Autofiltermode = false

no go...

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

I'm trying to write a macro that will allow me to turn on or turn off autofilter for all sheets in a workbook. I'm working with over 60 sheets so automating it would save me a lot of time! Here is the code I'm working with:

Sub TurnOnAutoFilter()

Dim wks As Worksheet

Sheets(1).Select

For Each wks In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets

If Not ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode Then

ActiveSheet.Range("A1").AutoFilter

End If

Next wks

End Sub


Sub TurnOffAutoFilter()

Dim wks As Worksheet

Sheets(1).Select

For Each wks In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets

If ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode Then

ActiveSheet.Range("A1").AutoFilter

End If

Next wks

End Sub



Can anyone tell me why this won't work? I can't figure it out with internet research alone. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I am using this code to sort by non-blanks. Anyone know the code to turn autofilter completely off?

Code:

Sheets("Averages").Select
    Columns("C:E").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=""
End Sub

Thank You

Hi,

I can turn autofilter on or off conditionally with this in VBA
VB:

If ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode = True Then 
    ActiveSheet.Range("A1").AutoFilter 
End If

But I can't do this if it's a table! (listobject):
It seems there's no AutofilterMode for ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1")

What I'm after is a way to turn off the autofilter if a user has enabled it and the first piece of code won't do that.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

I have an AutoFilter with 4 Filters which are in the 'filtering mode / on'.
I only want to 'turn off' the first Filter with the code(s):

ActiveSheet.AutoFilter.Filters.Item(1).On = False

...doesn't work.

ActiveSheet.AutoFilter Field:=1

...doesn't work.

Why?

Help needed.

I have code to open all workbooks contained in a folder, copy a named range in the first work sheet of each workbook, and paste to another workbook "WPRCases"; creates a sort of master copy of all ecords.,

Code works as expected if the workbooks are not filtered. If Workbooks filterd then only the visible data is copied and pasted.,

I have tried several different ways of detecting and turning autofilter off, commented out in code of attachment, detection seems to work, though turning autofilters off not worked as hoped. This is observed by a simulation using "Test" work books with same finite data on the first sheet of each workbook. I have ensured that the code counts all current rows of data from each sheet.,

Either I have incorrect code, and or I do not know enough to get the job done.,

Does anyone know how to get around this issue?
