Filter Results in Excel to Show Only Those that End With Specified Text or Words - AutoFilter
This free Excel macro filters data to display results that end with certain words, text, or characters. This is a very easy to use and helpful macro in Excel which allows you to quickly and easily display subsets of data in Excel.
It is important to note that in order to properly use this macro you must replace the "Enter Criteria Here" with the text or characters which you want to filter the data by. However, make sure that you do not remove the "*" from the beginning of that text because that is what makes this macro work.
How Filter Macros Work
All of the elements below often appear within autofilter macros.
Range
This should be the start of the data set, table, or list which you would like to filter. This can also be the entire range reference to the table. For example, if the table was from cell A1:D450, you could put that as the range or you could put A1 as the range. You can do this because the autofilter feature in Excel will automatically try to determine the total range which you would like to filter.
Field
This is the number of the column within the data table that you would like to filter. The first field (1) is the very first column in the data set that will be filtered. This means that if your data starts in column B and your range is Range("B1") and you want to filter based on column D, you would put 3 in for the field.
Criteria
This is the criteria by which you would like to filter. Some of the macros have symbols within the quotation marks after this argument and those symbols (such as <,>,*,?, etc.) should be left where they are in order to retain the functionality of the macro.
Operator
You will not have to change this. This is simply the way to perform different types of filter features in Excel.

This topic on Ozgrid provides just what I need, but limited to only 2 criteria - my VBA is not up to extending the code to the ten criteria that I need. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
VB:
Function AutoFilter_Criteria(Header As Range) As String Dim strCri1 As String, strCri2 As String Application.Volatile With Header.Parent.AutoFilter With .Filters(Header.Column - .Range.Column + 1) If Not .On Then Exit Function strCri1 = .Criteria1 If .Operator = xlAnd Then strCri2 = " AND " & .Criteria2 ElseIf .Operator = xlOr Then strCri2 = " OR " & .Criteria2 End If End With End With AutoFilter_Criteria = UCase(Header) & ": " & strCri1 & strCri2 End Function

I am trying to use VBA code to filter data. The filter criteria is based on the cell values in another worksheet. The code works when my criteria only includes less than and greater than but when i try to include 'is equal to' or greater than the code doesn't filter like I need it to.
Here's the code:
VB:
ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode = False
Range("A1:X1").AutoFilter
Range("A1:x1").AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:=ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("CONWAY").Range("B1").Value, _
Operator:=xlAnd
Range("A1:D1").AutoFilter field:=2, Criteria1:="=" & ">" & ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("CONWAY").Range("C1").Value 'greater than filter to Contract ("B2" as criteria)
Range("A1:x1").AutoFilter field:=3, Criteria1:="=" & "<" & ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("CONWAY").Range("C1").Value 'less than filter to Op Code ("C2" as criteria)

I'm using Excel 2000. I have a worksheet that gives me the right filtered
records. The problem that I'm having is that I do not see the number of
records that meet the filtered condition. I thought this feature can be
turned on by by right-clicking over the Filter Mode text on the bar at the
bottom of Excel. That hasn't work. So, how do I get the results of a filter
to show?

Hello All,
First time poster. I have a large Excel Spreadsheet that has 32 columns and over 50,000 lines of data. Column U has a 4 digit code. There are over 100 different codes in column U. I want Excel to create a new worksheet where each code is only listed once but the contents are summated. Might be easier to show an example.
Here is how the data appears now:
Column U Column X
AAAA $10
AAAA $20
AAAA $50
AAAA $10
AAAA $100
BBBB $20
BBBB $10
BBBB $50
CCCC $80
CCCC $90
Here is the format I want excel to create:
AAAA $190
BBBB $80
CCCC $170
Thanks, Bill
I'm doing some database work but I'm having a problem eliminating some data. I need a way to eliminate all of the fields that cancel out each other. For example, I have provided a sample of data below. In my sample, -1 will cancel out with 1, -2 will cancel out with 2, etc. Ultimately, I need the final list to only show data that doesn't cancel itself out. Hope this sounds clear.
-1
-2
-3
-3

I have an excel table with text (In the first column I have sentences of text in each cell).
Also, I have a seperate lookup table with predefined words.
What I want is to look in each cell of text in the table to find if one or more of the words from the lookup table is/are in the text.
Then, if one or more of the words are found in the text, I want that word or words to be presented in the cell next to the column with text.
For example:
Predefined Lookup table (with words):
Here
This
test
Nice
today
*Mult*
Table with text:
Column 1:
Here I am
This is a test
Nice weather today
Multiple ways to Rome
Column 2 (Found words):
Here
This, test
Nice, today
Multiple
As you can see the words from the lookup table that are found in the text are shown in the corresponding row of column2.
Question: which formula do I need for column 2? If possible the formula should also preferably be not case sensitive and if possible I should be able to use wild cards in the words in the lookup table.
Anyone that can resolve this challenge?
I have a long list of item descriptions that I need to filter down to descriptions containing words like "valve" or "ring" or "root" or "epic" (17 key words in all). The basic custom filter looks like it only lets me filter for 2 words.
I have some experience working with advanced filter for things like >100 but that's about it. Any help with this would be so appreciated.
hi all,
so I am building a racing scoring chart, I need to range a set of cells and bring back the order of placings, but I also need to show the following when they appear
"DNF" needs to read as "DNF"
"DNS" needs to read as "DNS"
when it is blank it will error so I have written an error formula to avoid this, I would like to write something else like an IF that vbrings back "" if it errors
The current formula I have works for everything but "DNS"
=IFERROR(IF(J3="DNF",J3,RANK(J3,$J$3:$J$32,1),"")
If someone could help with this i would be most grateful.

I think this is a simple operation but I can not find the way to do it.
I have a excel user form with 3 text boxes, tb1, tb2 and tb3. I want to use
tb3 to show the results of the enteries made in tb1 & 2. For example
tb1 = Maximum
tb2 = Minimum
tb3 = Maximum - Minimum
After the entry is made in tb2 then tb3 will automatically show the
calculated result as the user will not be allowed to move onto that textbox.
At this point the record wil is part of a larger form and not updated to the
worksheet.

Ok. Here's my problem. I have a spreadsheet that I use which filters on 6 different filter criteria and copies the result set of each filter criteria to a separate worksheet. However, on occasion there are no results found for a given criteria.
What I want to do is when no results are found for a given criteria to return the words "No Data Found" to a cell on a different spreadsheet.
I'm trying to find the correct syntax for:
VB:
If SpecialCells = "" Then
Sheet("Smith").Select
Range("C2").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "No Data"
If you like these VB formatting tags please consider sponsoring me in support of injured Royal Marines
I do know that SpecialCells represents Filtered Records but that's about all I know what to do with that.
Any ideas?
Thanks guys.
