$$Excel-Macros$$ FILTER IN EXCEL
Sir, Many times, it happens that we apply a filter on one or more columns. During the course of our handling and scrolling left-to-right or otherwise, we often forget which columns have been filtered. Is there a good and efficient and clear way of telling or highlighting FILTER columns, e.g., if an excel sheet is filtered on columns A, D, F, M then these columns headings should get highlighted. The default style of showing a small downward arrow and an anchor is not at all an impressive one. One has to carefully look at all columns to know where is the filter. Can conditional formating or some formula is there to achieve this? regards Sunil - India - 9320923879 -- -- Some important links for excel users: 1.

Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ FILTER IN EXCEL
Dear Sunil, You can use the following UDF: This Custom Function can be used to highlight them. Enter the following code in a standard module. (Alt + F11, then Insert, Module from the top menu) Function FilterOn(myCell As Range) As Boolean On Error Resume Next With myCell.Parent.AutoFilter With .Filters(myCell.Column - .Range.Column + 1) If .On Then FilterOn = True End With End With End Function Then using Conditional Formatting, enter =filteron(*your cell reference*). (Format, Conditional Formatting, Formula Is). The above solution and more details can also be found on the following website: http://blog.livedoor.jp/andrewe/archives/19415538.html Please let us know if you need further help.
