    Checkboxes and autofilter

    Hi All,

    I have been stuck on a problem since yesterday and I just can not figure out how to get this to work.

    I have 3 sheets

    Sheet 1 contains the table of data columns Col A to Col E

    Sheet 2 contains check boxes which have been created from the values in columns A to E from Sheet 1

    Is there any way to link the check boxes to control the auto filters on columns A to E on Sheet 1

    Example: Sheet 1. Column A contains 50,000 rows but this is made up from 7 different values. So on sheet 2, 7 check boxes are created and the caption is the value.

    I now need a user to select by using the checkboxes which data to show on sheet 1.

    Hope this makes sense, Any ideas ?

    Thank you

    LeeroyB

    Hi

    Can you post an example of your workbook.
    This would make it much easier to follow what you are trying to achieve.

    I think I need to build an array from the checkbox values depending on if they are checked or not and this array can be passed to the autofilter on sheet 1 .

    Thoughts anybody ?
