Show filter value in a cell

  • Hi All


    I need to show the value of the filter selection choosen from the drop down list (certerial) in a cell at the end of a column being filtered.


    Is this achieveable in excel 2003

    came up with this which will place the filter critieria in a comment at the top of each filtered range. You can change if you want it in any particular cell.



    trouble is you'll want to trigger this from an autofilter event, as as these do not directly exist then I wonder how you would prefer to trigger the code?

    Trigeering is a problem as u say, when the filter is set would be ideal.
    Iam trying to a static value of filter choosen to use in a vlookup of saleman initials which i filter on to proper names. I did it on the month which is either 1 2 3 etc in acolumn by placing a subtotal that averages so when i filter on say 3 the answer is always 3 no matter how many enteries in the column Then use result in vlookup to return proper month March.
    Any other way Vlookup wont work on filter range

    column P to R for lookup N8 shows month filter value selected and this is displayed as proper month in C5.
    What i need is the proper salesman name in I5 when filter is selected for salesman.
    with month filter and sales filter selected it produces monthly sales report by salesman in columns B to J

    Hi All


    See file attached Sales Results


    I can achieve the result of putting the salesman name in cell J2 by assigning salesman initials a number as in column B and an average formula in B68 via the lookup tables, the same method is used to insert the month in D2 when a filter is selected on columns L and M.
    What i need really is the filtered value of column L (Salesman initials) placed in L68 when the filter is selected.


    Hope this explains the problem

    Badger,


    I came across this thread and had a question on this topic, wondering if you could help. I am trying view in a cell what being filtered. I have the following code that is working if I filter for two items, if I filter for anymore than 2 items in one criteria it does not work. Any idea how I would be able to tweak this code to get it to do what I want? For example if I have all the cities in NY and I want to filter by 3 cities, I want it to say "City 1 or City 2 or City 3"
