User defined filter not working as expected - "contains" interpreted as "ending with"
I stumbled over a strange problem today with the "contains" filter creteria used to filter a worksheet based on text input to a activeX text field in a worksheet.
All is shown in the attached screenshot.
The worksheet with the textbox "txtTitleSearch" that receives the input to be searched/filtered as "contains" criteria. Strangly Excel shows it after the code execution as filtered as "ending with" - which is not what was intended.
As prove I show also the worksheet with data over the searchterm.
What can possibly go wrong in this interpretation of vba code, that excel ends up filtering as "ending with"??
I expected filter results to match a "contains" filter with the search term entered.
When you set a filter using VBA, Excel attempts to interpret your request and selects the appropriate option for the front end.
In your code, your criteria is:
Criteria1:="*" & txtTitelSearch.txt & "*"""
This resolves to *text*" which, as it ends with a double quote, Excel sets the option to Ends With.
If you set your criteria to:
Criteria1:="*" & txtTitelSearch.txt & "*"
It resolves to *text* which, Excel will identify correctly as Contains because an asterisk is present at both the start and end of the input.
To summarise:
When looking for the text "SearchForThis", you would use the * wildcard in the following manner:
SearchForThis*Starts With that text*SearchForThis*Contains that text*SearchForThisEnds With that text
