sorting code problems

[DKY]

Okay, I tried utilizing this code to look in Column U for anythin
that's not D6 and delete that row. Here's what I got but the debu
keeps pointing to the ActiveSheet.ShowAllData part of the code.
don't understand, what Tom put works perfectly on my previous project.
What am I doing wrong in this code?

Dim rng As Range, rng1 As Range
Range("U1").CurrentRegion.AutoFilter _
Field:=3, Criteria1:="<>D6", Operator:=xlAnd
Set rng = Intersect(ActiveSheet.AutoFilter.Range, Columns(3))
Set rng = rng.Offset(1, 0).Resize(rng.Rows.Count - 1, 1)
On Error Resume Next
Set rng1 = rng.SpecialCells(xlVisible)
On Error GoTo 0
If Not rng1 Is Nothing Then
rng1.EntireRow.Delete
End If
ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
Range("U1").CurrentRegion.AutoFilter

It looks like there's a bug in excel.

If you delete all the rows (except the headers), then excel has a difficult time
showing all the data.

This kind of code usually works:

If activesheet.FilterMode Then
activesheet.ShowAllData
end if

But when I deleted all the rows in the table, it still blew up--In fact, I
couldn't get Data|filter|showall to remove that blue dropdown arrow. (Excel
still thought that the sheet was filtered.

But this code:

on error resume next
activesheet.showalldata
on error goto 0

Stopped the error from causing a runtime error.

But even better, the following line:
Range("U1").CurrentRegion.AutoFilter
toggled the autofilter off.

(The short answer is coming (promise).)

Delete that offending line and you'll be ok.

The real question is are you sure you're doing what you want in your code:

These two lines look like trouble to me:

Range("U1").CurrentRegion.AutoFilter _
Field:=3, Criteria1:="<>D6", Operator:=xlAnd
Set rng = Intersect(ActiveSheet.AutoFilter.Range, Columns(3))

If you select U1 and hit ctrl-* (shift-8) what's the range that's selected.

That's the range that's filtered. And you're using the 3 column as your key.

If you got columns A:U (or more), then field 3 is column C.

And that's the column that you're checking to see if it's different from "D6".

This may work better for just checking one column (U):

Option Explicit
Sub testme01()
Dim rng As Range, rng1 As Range

With ActiveSheet
.AutoFilterMode = False

.Range("U1").EntireColumn.AutoFilter _
Field:=1, Criteria1:="<>D6"
Set rng = .AutoFilter.Range
Set rng = rng.Offset(1, 0).Resize(rng.Rows.Count - 1, 1)
On Error Resume Next
Set rng1 = rng.SpecialCells(xlVisible)
On Error GoTo 0
If Not rng1 Is Nothing Then
rng1.EntireRow.Delete
End If
.AutoFilterMode = False
End With

End Sub
