filter two worksheets w/ the first as a controller

[SteveDB1]

morning all.
I'm doing some data verification and have set up two worksheets with filters
on both of them.

So that I can avoid going back and forth to keep adjusting my filter for
each sheet, is there a way that I can "link" the two filters to be as a
single filter for both sheets?

I.e., I'd like to just set the filter on one sheet to adjust the filter on
the other worksheet as well.

As I spoke with a colleague to see if he'd tried this before, I realized
that I may have not stated my request correctly/succinctly enough.
I've filtered two worksheets. The primary sheet is a more
comprehensive/detailed listing. The second worksheet is a "summary" of all
the data on the first sheet.

I want the first worksheet to be the controller. So if I set the filter to a
specific critieria on sheet A, it automatically sets it to the identical
criteria on sheet B.

How would I perform that?
Again, thank you for your helps.

Oh, I did try Ron DeBruin's Easy Filter xla, it doesn't work for XL2007. It
called up a little message box saying it only works for XL 2000 thru 2003.
I've then reviewed Contexture's website on filtering worksheets, and they do
not appear to discuss my goal.


Thank you.

I'm using XL2007.

Ok, as a follow up, I did find, and try Advanced filtering.
It does not work for my desired purpose.
I tried selecting the range of interest on my detail sheet, and then the
criteria range on my summary sheet. It only allowed one item. No matter what
I selected on my summary sheet it did not change the filtered values of my
detail sheet.

I then reversed my process to set the range of interest on my summary sheet,
and criteria range on my detail sheet. Same-- nothing changed.

So, my next question then goes to:
Can filtering two worksheets linked together with one sheet being the
controller work?
Thank you.

I have the same issue and would appreciate any help at all on using
the filters on one sheet to control the same filters on other sheets.

Hi Jason.
Here is what I'm using to filter two different worksheets. I use it daily,
and am very pleased with it. I even have one template worksheet with this
macro linked to it for the work that I do.

-----------------------------
Sub Filtration()

mv = Range("f3").End(xlDown).Value ' this sets the criteria.

'MsgBox mv- for verification.
Sheets("Sum").Range("A8:F8").AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:=mv '"12345"

mv1 = Range("a3").End(xlDown).Value
'this is my add-on to set a second criteria filter- Name of owner.

Sheets("SheetName").Range("A8:F8").AutoFilter field:=3, Criteria1:=mv1
'this takes in to account the owner name for a filter.

End Sub

-----------------------------
Let me know if you need any explanations. I obtained this from Don Guillett.

Hope this helps.

Best.
