VBA to Clear a Filter

Using Excel’s built-in filtering can speed up your VBA code.

It is important if you are applying filters that you clear any existing filters before you apply a new filter. Otherwise the existing filters will usually affect a new filter you apply.

The line of code below will remove filters on Sheet1 (Sheet1 is the sheet code name that you see on the left side of the VBA screen – it may not be the sheet tab name).

If Sheet1.FilterMode Then Sheet1.ShowAllData

The .FilterMode property is True if a filter is in place on the sheet and False if not.

The .ShowAllData method will return an error if no filter is in place – hence the use of the If statement.
