Auto filter to select just the visible rows - excel

I have this code. It loops through a list for the filtering criteria, then if no data to select it shows all data again and loops to the next criteria. If it shows data it end(slDown) and selects all the data showing, copies it and pastes it into another worksheet.
The cleanup script cleans any blank rows and columns and then returns to the original data sheet and deletes the data selected for the copy paste.
The problem is when there is just one row. It moves to the row with data, but when I End(xlDown), it shoots all the way to the bottom and the paste then causes the macro to freeze up.
I nested another if statement to capture if there is only one line of data visible, but I cannot get it to function correctly. Any Suggestions on the nested if statement?
Dim criteria As String
Dim F As Range
Set Rng = Sheets("Reference").Range("W2:W36")
For Each F In Rng
criteria = F
ActiveSheet.Range("$AV$1").AutoFilter Field:=48, Criteria1:="=*BULK SUBSERVIENT*", Operator:=xlAnd
ActiveSheet.Range("$K$1").AutoFilter Field:=11, Criteria1:=criteria
Range("A2:CM" & ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count + 1) _
.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Rows(1).Select
If ActiveCell.Value = vbNullString Then
ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
Else
If (ActiveSheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell)) = 2 Then
'Range(Selection).Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Bulk Subservient").Select
ActiveSheet.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Call cleanup
Else
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Bulk Subservient").Select
ActiveSheet.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Call cleanup
End If
End If
Next F

I figured it out.... Here is what I did. Thanks all!
I used this If ActiveSheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Areas.Count <= 2
instead of this (ActiveSheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell)) = 2
Dim criteria As String
Dim F As Range
Set Rng = Sheets("Reference").Range("W2:W36")
For Each F In Rng
criteria = F
ActiveSheet.Range("$AV$1").AutoFilter Field:=48, Criteria1:="=*BULK SUBSERVIENT*", Operator:=xlAnd
ActiveSheet.Range("$K$1").AutoFilter Field:=11, Criteria1:=criteria
Range("A2:CM" & ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count + 1) _
.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Rows(1).Select
If ActiveCell.Value = vbNullString Then
ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
Else
If ActiveSheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Areas.Count <= 2 Then
'Range(Selection).Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Bulk Subservient").Select
ActiveSheet.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Call cleanup
Else
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select

I think your code could be much cleaner than this. I prefer to use an auxiliar funcion to make this filter. Something like this:
Function MyFilter(criteria as string) as Range
Set tableRange = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
' Filter
With tableRange
Call .AutoFilter(48, "*BULK SUBSERVIENT*")
Call .AutoFilter(11, criteria)
End With
On Error Resume Next
'This...
Set selectedRange = tableRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
'...Or (how to remover title).
Set selectedRange = Intersect(tableRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible), .[2:1000000])
On Error GoTo 0
With tableRange
Call .AutoFilter(11)
Call .AutoFilter(48)
End With
'Empty Criteria
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(selectedRange) < 2 Then
Exit Sub
End If
Set MyFilter = selectedRange
End Sub

Here is your original code rewritten using the Range.CurrentRegion property to define the range of cells to be filtered.
Dim criteria As String
Dim F As Range, rng As Range
With Worksheets("Reference")
Set rng = .Range(.Cells(2, 23), .Cells(Rows.Count, 23).End(xlUp))
End With
With ActiveSheet '<~~ set this to worksheets("Sheet1") as appropriate
If .AutoFilterMode Then .AutoFilterMode = False
With .Cells(1, 1).CurrentRegion
For Each F In rng
criteria = F
.AutoFilter Field:=48, Criteria1:="*BULK SUBSERVIENT*"
.AutoFilter Field:=11, Criteria1:=criteria
With .Resize(.Rows.Count - 1, .Columns.Count).Offset(1, 0)
If CBool(Application.Subtotal(103, .Cells)) Then
.Copy Destination:=Sheets("Bulk Subservient").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
End If
End With
Next F
End With
If .AutoFilterMode Then .AutoFilterMode = False
End With
Here is the same thing that collects all of the criteria terms from the Reference worksheet into a variant array and uses that to filter for all terms at once.
Dim rng As Range
Dim vCRITERIA As Variant, v As Long
With Worksheets("Reference")
ReDim vCRITERIA(1 To 1) '<~~for alternate method
For Each rng In .Range(.Cells(2, 23), .Cells(Rows.Count, 23).End(xlUp))
vCRITERIA(UBound(vCRITERIA)) = rng.Value2
ReDim Preserve vCRITERIA(UBound(vCRITERIA) + 1)
Next rng
ReDim Preserve vCRITERIA(UBound(vCRITERIA) - 1)
End With
With ActiveSheet '<~~ set this to worksheets("Sheet1") as appropriate
If .AutoFilterMode Then .AutoFilterMode = False
With .Cells(1, 1).CurrentRegion
.AutoFilter Field:=48, Criteria1:="*BULK SUBSERVIENT*"
.AutoFilter Field:=11, Criteria1:=(vCRITERIA), Operator:=xlFilterValues
With .Resize(.Rows.Count - 1, .Columns.Count).Offset(1, 0)
If CBool(Application.Subtotal(103, .Cells)) Then
.Copy Destination:=Sheets("Bulk Subservient").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
End If
End With
End With
If .AutoFilterMode Then .AutoFilterMode = False
End With
The latter is likely a few milli-seconds faster than the first.
The worksheet's SUBTOTAL function never includes filtered or hidden rows so asking for a count will determine if there is anything to copy. Resizing and offsetting moves to the filtered range.
You will need to reincorporate the Cleanup subroutine.

Selecting the first visible cell in a filtered column [duplicate]

I am trying to select the first visible cell directly beneath the header of a filtered column. The code I am getting is as below, but I have to problems with this code. First, the first line of code is using the current active range of the file. It is highly likely that this file will change and this range will not be the same. How can I make it work for any file I would use it on? Second, if I use a totally different file with the same column format, the first visible cell under Column J could be J210. How can I make this work for any array of variables?

I prefer non-destructive methods of determining whether there are visible cells to work with after a filtering operation. Since you are filling in column J with a formula, there is no guarantee that column J contains any values tat can be counted with the worksheet's SUBTOTAL function (SUBTOTAL does not count rows hidden by a filter) but the formula you are planning to populate into column J references column K so there must be something there.

VBA code - database Autofilter with cells in orther Sheet

i need your help on the VBA code :
i would like to make a filter on a database according cells in another sheets
my code is working but make a filter only in one cell. How to filter if the code found all cells from the Range
Please see my code :
Sub test()
Sheets("Dashboard").Select
Dim arr As Variant
'arr = Sheets("Dashboard").Range("B4:B11")
With Sheets("Database")
With .Range("A1:Z" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row)
.AutoFilter 'Turn off any previous filtering
.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=Sheets("Dashboard").Range("B4:B11")
End With
End With
End Sub
Thanks for your help
Please, test the next way:
Sub filterByRange()
Dim arr, rng As Range
Set rng = Sheets("Dashboard").Range("B4:B11")
rng.TextToColumns Destination:=rng.cells(1), FieldInfo:=Array(1, 2)
arr = rng.Value
arr = Application.Transpose(Application.Index(arr, 0, 1)) '1D array
With Sheets("Database")
With .Range("A1:Z" & .cells(.Rows.count, "A").End(xlUp).row)
.AutoFilter
.AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:=arr, Operator:=xlFilterValues
End With
End With
End Sub
Less is more. I adapted the code provided by #FaneDuru utilising some shortcuts. Please note that when it comes to AutoFilter, there’s (usually) no need to specify the complete range you want to filter – it filters all rows meeting the criteria so last column is irrelevant. As long as the data is contiguous, there’s no need to specify the last row either.
Provided for interest only.
Sub testFilter()
Dim Arr
Arr = Sheets("Dashboard").Range("B4:B11").Value
Arr = Application.Transpose(Application.Index(Arr, 0, 1))
With Sheets("Database").Range("A1").CurrentRegion
.AutoFilter 1, Array(Arr), 7
End With
End Sub
Try this:
Sub SubRangeBasedAutofilter()
'Declarations.
Dim RngCell As Range
Dim RngCriteria As Range
Dim StrCriteria() As String
Dim DblCriteriaCount As Double
'Selecting Dashboard sheet.
Sheets("Dashboard").Select '<-IS THIS NECESSARY?
'Setting RngCriteria.
Set RngCriteria = Sheets("Dashboard").Range("B4:B11")
'Redeclaring StrCriteria() with proper size.
ReDim StrCriteria(Excel.WorksheetFunction.Max(Excel.WorksheetFunction.CountA(RngCriteria) - 1, 1))
'Covering each in RngCriteria.
For Each RngCell In RngCriteria
'Checking if RngCell is not empty.
If RngCell.Value <> "" Then
'Storing the criteria.
StrCriteria(DblCriteriaCount) = "=" & RngCell.Value
DblCriteriaCount = DblCriteriaCount + 1
End If
Next
'Focusing Database sheet.
With Sheets("Database")
'Turning off any eventual autofilter.
.AutoFilterMode = False
'Setting a new autofilter.
With .Range("A1:Z" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row)
.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=StrCriteria, Operator:=xlFilterValues

VBA: Looping a condition through a range that compares values from other columns until the list ends

Public Sub MainTOfomat()
Dim ShippingQty As Range
Dim ReceivedQty As Range
ActiveSheet.Columns("A:P").AutoFit
ActiveSheet.Range("A:P").AutoFilter Field:=13, Criteria1:="No"
ActiveSheet.Range("K:L").AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:="<>"
Set ShippingQty = Range("K2")
Set ReceivedQty = ShippingQty.Offset(0, 1)
ShippingQty.Select
Do Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell)
If ShippingQty.Value = 0 Then
ShippingQty.Offset(0, 5) = "Needs Fulfillment"
ElseIf ShippingQty.Value > ReceivedQty.Value Then
ShippingQty.Offset(0, 5) = "Needs Receipt"
End If
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop
End Sub
The code is program is supposed to loop though each row in the column and fill in the statement based on the result of the condition for values in two other columns. The problem is that the loop goes through, but only the first line actually changes, and the auto filter code before the loop gets skipped.
Here is your macro fixed up.
As mentioned before your ShippingQty range and ReceivedQty do not change with the activecell. When moving to the next cell, that is the activecell. The filter range need to be the same. A:P is filtered, when changing to K:L ,field 2 actually becomes column B, so if you want to filter out non-blanks in column L you need the field 12.
Sub YourMacro()
Dim ShippingQty As Range
Dim ReceivedQty As Range
ActiveSheet.Columns("A:P").AutoFit
With ActiveSheet.Range("A:P")
.AutoFilter Field:=13, Criteria1:="No"
.AutoFilter Field:=12, Criteria1:="<>"
End With
Set ShippingQty = Range("K2")
Set ReceivedQty = ShippingQty.Offset(0, 1)
ShippingQty.Select
Do Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell)
If ActiveCell.Rows.Hidden = False Then
If ActiveCell.Value = 0 Then
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 5) = "Needs Fulfillment"
ElseIf ActiveCell.Value > ActiveCell.Offset(, 1).Value Then
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 5) = "Needs Receipt"
End If
End If
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop
ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode = 0
End Sub
You can use this option as well without using selects.
Sub Option1()
Dim rng As Range, c As Range
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ActiveSheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = 0
With ws
Set rng = .Range("K2:K" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, "K").End(xlUp).Row)
With .Range("A:P")
.AutoFilter Field:=13, Criteria1:="No"
.AutoFilter Field:=12, Criteria1:="<>"
End With
For Each c In rng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
If c = 0 Then c.Offset(, 5) = "Needs Fulfillments"
If c > c.Offset(, 1) Then c.Offset(, 5) = "Needs Receipts"
Next c
.AutoFilterMode = False
End With
End Sub

I hope my example makes sense and I really appreciate your help!
Note: The heading names are only the same in the two tables to show that the data is the same. The headers are NOT supposed to be copied. In addition, there is an extra column/white space in the second table. A solution should include this.
Firstly a few helpful points:
You should refer to worksheets by there Code Name to avoid renaming issues.
If you want to work with VBA then my advice is to avoid merged cells like the plague. They cause havoc with code. If possible use format cells - alignment - horizontal - centre accross selection
I also advise avoiding loops wherever possible and take advantage of excels built in functions instead as a good practice exercise.
Here is my solution. Keep it simple. If you need further help let me now.
Sub HTH()
Dim rCopy As Range
With Sheet1.AutoFilter.Range
'// Set to somewhere blank and unused on your worksheet
Set rCopy = Sheet1.Range("A" & Rows.Count - (.Rows.Count))
.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy rCopy
End With
With rCopy.Offset(1).Resize(5) '// Offset to avoid the header
.Resize(, 2).Copy Sheet2.Range("A5")
.Offset(, 3).Resize(, 1).Copy Sheet2.Range("D5")
.Offset(, 5).Resize(, 1).Copy Sheet2.Range("F5")

End With

A quick way to do this is to use Union and Intersect to only copy the cells that you want. If you are pasting values (or the data is not a formula to start), this works well. Thinking about it, it builds a range of columns to keep using Union and then Intersect that with the first 5 rows of data with 2 header rows. The result is a copy of only the data you want with formatting intact.
Edit only process visible rows, grabbing the header, and then the first 5 below the header rows
Sub CopyTopFiveFromSpecificColumns()
'set up the headers first to keep
Dim rng_top5 As Range
Set rng_top5 = Range("3:4").EntireRow
Dim int_index As Integer
'start below the headers and keep all the visible cells
For Each cell In Intersect( _
ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Offset(5), _
Range("A:A").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible))
'add row to keepers
Set rng_top5 = Union(rng_top5, cell.EntireRow)
'track how many items have been stored
int_index = int_index + 1
If int_index >= 5 Then
Exit For
End If
Next cell
'copy only certain columns of the keepers
Intersect(rng_top5, _
Union(Range("A:A"), _
Range("B:B"), _
Range("D:D"), _
Range("F:F"))).Copy
'using Sheet2 here, you can set to wherever, works if data is not formulas
Range("Sheet2!A1").PasteSpecial xlPasteAll
'if the data contains formulas, use this route
'Range("Sheet2!A1").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
'Range("Sheet2!A1").PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats
End Sub
Here is the result I get from some dummy data set up in the same ranges as the picture above.
Sheet1 with copied range visible
Sheet2 with pasted data
The first part of your question, selecting the top5 visible cells, is relatively easy, the copying and pasting is where the trouble are. You see, you cannot paste a range, even if it is not uniform, into non uniform range. So you'll need to write your own Paste function.
Part 1 - Getting the Top5 rows
I used a similar technique to #Byron's. Notice that this is merely a function returning a Range object and accepting a String, which represents your non-uniform range (you can change the parameter type to Range if you wish).
Function GetTop5Range(SourceAddress As String) As Range
Dim rngSource As Range
Dim rngVisible As Range
Dim rngIntersect As Range
Dim rngTop5 As Range
Dim i As Integer
Dim cell As Range
Set rngSource = Range(SourceAddress)
Set rngVisible = rngSource.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Cells
Set rngIntersect = Intersect(rngVisible, rngVisible.Cells(1, 1).EntireColumn)
i = 1
For Each cell In rngIntersect
If i = 1 Then
Set rngTop5 = cell.EntireRow
i = i + 1
ElseIf i > 1 And i < 6 Then
Set rngTop5 = Union(rngTop5, cell.EntireRow)
i = i + 1
Else
Exit For
End If
Next cell
Set GetTop5Range = Intersect(rngTop5, rngVisible)
End Function
Part 2 - Creating your own pasting function
Because Excel always pastes your copied range as uniform, you need to do it yourself. This method essentially breaks down your source region to columns and pastes them individually. The method accepts parameter SourceRange of type Range , which is meant to by your Top5 range, and a TopLeftCornerRange of type Range, which represents the target cell of your pasting.
Sub PasteRange(SourceRange As Range, TopLeftCornerRange As Range)
Dim rngColumnRange As Range
Dim cell As Range
Set rngColumnRange = Intersect(SourceRange, SourceRange.Cells(1, 1).EntireRow)
For Each cell In rngColumnRange
Intersect(SourceRange, cell.EntireColumn).Copy
TopLeftCornerRange.Offset(0, cell.Column - 1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats
Next cell
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
Part 3 - Running the procedure
Sub Main()
PasteRange GetTop5Range("A2:B33,D2:D33"), Range("A35")
End Sub
That's it.
In my project, I had source data in Columns A, B and D like you did and the results are pasted to range beginning at A35.
Result:
Hope this helps!
While it may simply be easier to loop through the first five visible rows, I used application.evaluate to process a worksheet-style formula that returned the row number of the fifth visible record.

All options are set just below the variable declarations. Your sample images seemed to indicate that you used a two key sort so I coded for that optionally. If you want to bring in any formulas as formulas, that option is there. The filter criteria and the columns to copy are assigned to their respective vars as well.

      Sort_Filter_Copy_from_Top_5.xlsb
Try this:
Sub GetTopFiveRows()
Dim table As Range, cl As Range, cnt As Integer
Set table = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A2:A10").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
cnt = 1
With Worksheets("Sheet2")
For Each cl In table
If cnt <= 5 Then
.Range("A" & cnt) = cl
.Range("B" & cnt) = cl.Offset(0, 1)
.Range("D" & cnt) = cl.Offset(0, 3)
.Range("F" & cnt) = cl.Offset(0, 5)
cnt = cnt + 1
Else
Exit Sub
End If
Next cl
End With
End Sub
First a reference is set to only visible rows in the entire table (you'll need to update the range reference)
Then we loop over the visible range, copy to sheet 2, and stop when 5 records (i.e. the top five) have been copied
First Unmerge the cells then use this code, very similar to some of the other suggestions.
Sub Button1_Click()
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim Rws As Long, Rng As Range, fRng As Range, c As Range, fRw As Long
Set sh = Sheets("Sheet2")
Rws = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Set Rng = Range(Cells(4, 1), Cells(Rws, "T")) 'unmerge all the headers
Rng.AutoFilter Field:=3, Criteria1:="Dave"
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").AutoFilter.Sort.SortFields. _
Clear
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").AutoFilter.Sort.SortFields.Add _
Key:=Range("F4:F321"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlDescending, _
DataOption:=xlSortTextAsNumbers
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").AutoFilter.Sort
.Header = xlYes
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With
Set fRng = Range(Cells(5, 1), Cells(Rws, 1)).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
x = 0
For Each c In fRng.Cells
If x = 5 Then Exit Sub
fRw = sh.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1
sh.Range(sh.Cells(fRw, 1), sh.Cells(fRw, 2)).Value = Range(Cells(c.Row, 1), Cells(c.Row, 2)).Value
sh.Cells(fRw, 4).Value = Cells(c.Row, 4).Value
sh.Cells(fRw, 6).Value = Cells(c.Row, 6).Value
x = x + 1
Next c
End Sub
