Filter an Excel defined Table programmatically [VBA]
In this tutorial, I am going to demonstrate how to filter an Excel define Table through a VBA macro.
How it works
- Type a value in cell range B2, C2 or D2.
- Press Filter button
The table column below is instantly filtered. If the cell value is empty, no filter is applied.
VBA code
Sub TblFilter()
If Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A2") <> "" Then
Worksheets("Sheet1").ListObjects("Table1").Range.AutoFilter _
Field:=1, Criteria1:="=" & Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A2")
Else
ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1").Range.AutoFilter Field:=1
End If
If Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B2") <> "" Then
Worksheets("Sheet1").ListObjects("Table1").Range.AutoFilter _
Field:=2, Criteria1:="=" & Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B2")
Else
ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1").Range.AutoFilter Field:=2
End If
If Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("C2") <> "" Then
Worksheets("Sheet1").ListObjects("Table1").Range.AutoFilter _
Field:=3, Criteria1:="=" & Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("C2")
Else
ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1").Range.AutoFilter Field:=3
End If
End Sub

Well, it’s a very good sign to develop an excel software. I do agree with you with the advantages of this package :)
Exactly what I have been searching for, perfect example.
I have two requests.
1. How do I create a clear data button, ready for the next search.
2. Can the search criteria in any field by partial. i.e. If I type just the letter T or TA in the Company search box it shows me all companies with the letter T or Ta in it's name.
Thanking you in advance.
