Tom

Would like to create code which will allow someone to type in a
specific number then would sort the spreedsheet to show just rows
that
have that specific number. I know you can do this with just using the
autofilter drop down, but I want to make it more user friendly buy
just having them type it in a cell then click a button.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Tom

Take a look at the code in the FastFilter utility that I wrote, which is
available athttp://www.contextures.com/Fastfilter.zip
orhttp://excelusergroup.org/files/folders/allversionwb/entry1194.aspx

Maybe that will help you.

That's a great utility! I now plan on using that same idea .. except
without the autofilter (I'd just hide rows) ... saweeet!

Roger,
This works great, just one minor issue. The wildcard feature will not
work on 95* numbers. I checked the format and is correct, can't figure
this one out.
 
Hi Tom

If the values are Text, then 95* will filter for 95, 950, 951, 9500 etc.
i.e. all text values beginning with 95

If the value is numeric, then you need to use >=95 ^ <=nnn
where nnn is the maximum number.

When dealing with numerical data, you cannot say the number begins with 95
 
Hi

I don't understand why you would not wish to use the power of Autofilter,
which is so fast (and easy).
If you don't want the Autofilter dropdowns to show, you could just hide
them.

dim colnum as Integer, c as range
Column = 10 ' change to suit

For Each c In Range(Cells(testrow, 1), Cells(testrow1, colnum))
c.AutoFilter Field:=c.Column, _
Visibledropdown:=False

That's a good point, Roger - I didn't think of that :) I'll take a
look at what that looks like, now :)
