    Reset Filters back to ALL

    I have a worksheet with filters, in all columns (B-AF) with the exception of Col. A. Depending upon which meeting I attend, some columns get filtered while others are left alone (e.g. the filter is kept at Select All). I then have to go into each column and reset it back to Select All, but oftentimes I forget what has actually been filtered.

    Is there a quick way to reset all the filters back to (Select All)? Thank You!!

    Excel 2010

    Outside of a macro, you can do this on the quick access toolbar with the clear command.

    Did you try it?

    The word command shows "Clear", but what it does is resets the filters to all.

    It did not work. I still have some columns that are filtered. I need to return the entire sheet back to (Select All) filters view.

    Do you want to use a macro?

    If not, press ctrl + shift + L twice

    A macro would be nice. However, I don't know how to use VB - but I have recorded a macro before....

    Sub ResetFilter()
        If ActiveSheet.FilterMode = True Then
            ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
        End If
    End Sub
    Highlight macro to copy >> Ctrl + C >> Open your workbook
    Alt + F11 >> opens the Visual Basic Editor (VBE)
    Ctrl + R >> opens the Project Explorer (if not already open on left side of screen)
    Insert menu >> Module or Alt + I, M >> activates the Insert menu and inserts a Standard Module
    Paste code >> Ctrl + V (right side of screen)
    Alt + Q >> exits VBE and returns to Excel
    Back in Excel to run the macro >> Alt + F8 >> Macro Dialog Box >> Highlight ResetFilter >> Run

    You can even establish your own shortcut key if you wish.
