Use AutoFilter on the current visible data

0 votes

To set Autofiler data on the currently active sheet, use the code below. It works, but all the concealed rows are shown once I run auto filter on any column. My goal is to set the filter on value and use a helper column. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Option Explicit
Option Compare Text

    Sub AutoFilter_on_visible_data()
    
         Dim ws As Worksheet, arr, i As Long, lastR As Long, HdRng As Range, rng As Range
    
         Set ws = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet
         lastR = ws.Range("A" & ws.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
          
         arr = ws.Range("A3:R" & lastR).Value2                          'Place the relevant columns in an array for faster iteration
         
          For i = 1 To UBound(arr)
          
            If ws.Rows(i + 2).Hidden = False Then                       '(i + 2) because Data starts at Row_3
            
                If Not arr(i, 2) Like "*Oil*" And _
                   Not arr(i, 5) Like "*-SYS-14" And _
                   Not arr(i, 6) Like "*Oil" Then
                   
                   addToRange HdRng, ws.Range("A" & i + 2)               'Make a union range of the rows NOT matching criteria...
                      
                End If
             End If
           Next i
           
          Application.ScreenUpdating = False
             If Not HdRng Is Nothing Then HdRng.EntireRow.Hidden = True      'Hide not matching criteria rows.
          Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    End Sub
    
    Private Sub addToRange(rngU As Range, rng As Range)
        If rngU Is Nothing Then
            Set rngU = rng
        Else
            Set rngU = Union(rngU, rng)
        End If
    End Sub

Use the following modified code. It's assumed that the second row's headers are present:

Sub AutoFilter_on_visible_data()
         Dim ws As Worksheet, arr, i As Long, lastR As Long, lastCol As Long, arrH, rngH As Range, rng As Range
         Const helpH As String = "HelpColumn"
         
         Set ws = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet
         lastR = ws.Range("A" & ws.rows.count).End(xlUp).row
         lastCol = ws.cells(2, ws.Columns.count).End(xlToLeft).column 'last column, supposing that the header exists on the second row
         
         Set rngH = ws.rows(2).Find(what:=helpH, LookIn:=xlValues, Lookat:=xlWhole)
         If Not rngH Is Nothing Then  'if the helper header exists:
            lastCol = rngH.column
        Else                          'if not it is defined:
            lastCol = lastCol + 1
            ws.cells(2, lastCol).Value = helpH
        End If
        
        Set rng = ws.Range(ws.cells(2, 1), ws.cells(lastR, lastCol)) 'to use it for filterring
        
         If Not ws.AutoFilterMode Then rng.AutoFilter 'autofilter the resized range
        ws.AutoFilter.ShowAllData
        
         arr = ws.Range("A3:R" & lastR).Value2                      'Place the relevant columns in an array for faster iteration
         ReDim arrH(1 To UBound(arr), 1 To 1)
         
          For i = 1 To UBound(arr)
             If ws.rows(i + 2).Hidden = False Then                 '(i + 2) because Data starts at Row_3
            
                If Not arr(i, 2) Like "*Oil*" And _
                    Not arr(i, 5) Like "*-SYS-14" And _
                    Not arr(i, 6) Like "*Oil" Then
                   
                    arrH(i, 1) = "HH"                                        'Make a helper array to filter on it.
                   
                 End If
              End If
           Next i
           'Drop the arrH content at once:
           ws.cells(3, lastCol).Resize(UBound(arrH), 1).Value2 = arrH
           
           'Filter on the helper column:
           rng.AutoFilter field:=lastCol, Criteria1:="HH", Operator:=xlFilterValues
End Sub
