    Excellent! Now the couple pieces missing:

    1) Copying the filtered results to a new sheet Sheet02 (and whether or not the copied area is a range, table or neither at that time)
    2)Applying the same process to a new range of data and adding that filtered section to the previously established data on the new sheet Sheet02
    3) Sorting the new sheet data every time data is added and removing duplicates based upon one field being used as a key.

    I am sure I will run into all this, but you folks were off to such a great start of the information being clear and collected in one place, I wanted to place the suggestion, provided you ever have the time!

    Hi Bruce,

    Thanks for your suggestion, I will add these in couple of weeks.

    Thanks-PNRao!

    How do you create a table when the range is dynamic. I want to automate the process of refreshing and opening pivot tables. I need to:
    1) import data from a software package (this will be done manually)
    2) open the file created in #1 and create and name table. The range of data is unknown.
    3) open the pivot table which will refresh automatically using the named table created in #2.

    I got this far – how do I change the defined range to a dynamic range and do I need the last line?

    Sub opengetfile()
    Dim strFileName As String
    Dim rgData As Range
    strFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename
    If strFileName = “False” Then Exit Sub
    MsgBox strFileName
    Workbooks.Open (strFileName)

    ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add(xlSrcRange, Range(“$A$1:$AX$224”), , xlYes).Name = “Loans”
    Range(“Loans[#All]”).Select

    End Sub

    Hi Nurit,

    Welcome to ANALYSITABS!

    You can create the dynamic range by finding the last row:
    (examples shown here: http://analysistabs.com/excel-vba/finding-last-used-row-with-data-worksheet/)

    Now your code will be:

    lastRow=200 ‘ This is Dynamic in your case, please use the example in the above link to find last row
    ‘Now Your range will be:
    ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add(xlSrcRange, Range(“$A$1:$AX$″ &lastRow), , xlYes).Name = “Loans”

    ‘Now create the pivot table
    (examples shown here: http://analysistabs.com/excel-vba/pivot-tables-examples/ )

    Hope this helps!
    Thanks-PNRao!

    If all the data on this sheet will be inside a listobject, you can use ActiveSheet.UsedRange property. Instead the Range() object.

    Hi
    Filtering Tables in Excel VBA…
    I need to filter my table everytime data changes.
    In your example, you filter “DDD”.
    In mine, I want filter all options except zero/blank cells of a range, i.e., its like excluding “DDD” and leave remaining data.
    please help me changing code for that.
    Thank you

  7. Amy January 30, 2015 at 5:27 AM

    This has been very helpful! I needed to create a macro to turn a dynamic range into a table, sort by a specific column, & filter the table based on that same column name. This page had all the information I needed.
    I look forward to checking out the other areas of your site.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks-PNRao!
