Dear all,

I have one table, which include 'name', 'age','class','comment','score' 5
fields, last time I asked how to make search criteria with vba, people
suggested me to make macro to record advanced filter in excel, but my
question is how to make the input of search demand recognized in vba. In one
word, I don't have clear idea to link different procedures together. I wish
I could have a clearer mind after this.

for instance,

selection. autofilter. Field:=1, criteria1:="=*jiang*", operator:=_
xlor, criteria2:="<>wu"

in the field 1, name, I want this table show recorders whose name contain
'jiang' or not equal 'wu'. but if input changes everytime, how could I make
it? For instance, a textbox which lets user input different name to
search result, how could I link input in the textbox with my criteria?

Thanks.

JIang,

Does this help

Worksheets("Sheet1").Columns(1).AutoFilter Field:=1, _
Criteria1:="=*" & Userform1.TextBox1.Text & "*", _
Operator:=xlOr, _
Criteria2:="<>" & Userform1.TextBox2.Text

Bob,

Thanks. This does help.

But I still don't understand how to make sure this autofilter works only in
Field of 'name', should I use 'Dim name as 1' first, then VBA would know
'Field 1' is the field of name.

Best regards,
JIANG
 
Kiang,

I am not sure I understand the question, but the code I supplied is getting
name from a userform textbox, as I thought that that was what was wanted.
Thus you don't have to Dim anything as it is an object.
