Macro to filter multiple values in a column

[jengesmeriz]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a macro that will filter multiple values using array. However, I'm not sure what is the problem on the code and it wont filter more than two values in array. Can anyone help me on this? I'm trying to filter column I if it contains "*Extra Air*", "*Extra-Air*", "*ExtraAir*", and if it does then I will tag it as Extra Air Con. The formula works for two criteria, but if i added another one, it wont work. Below is my sample code.

Hello jengesmeriz,

Here's one way around the array problem.

Place your three criteria in a column out of sight (say Column X and starting in row2) then try the following code:-

It assumes that your headings are in row1 with data starting in row2.

I hope that this helps.

Cheerio,

Hi,
Thanks for the tips. I will try to follow your code. I'm working on several category not just "extra air con" and definitely the loop will surely help. By the way, what is "UBound"? How does it work? Thanks!

Ok jengesmeriz, I'll leave it with you.

in simple terms basically means the array is being searched from bottom (1) to top (UBound) or (LBound to UBound): the lower bounds to the upper bounds.

It works! I just noticed that the loop works for more than one criteria. Thank you so much. Appreciate the help!
