SetAutoFilter method

Sets the classic XLS AutoFilter range for the worksheet.

Syntax

procedure SetAutoFilter(ARow1, ACol1, ARow2, ACol2: Integer); overload;
procedure SetAutoFilter(ARange: WideString); overload;

Remarks

The numeric overload uses 1-based row and column indexes. The string overload accepts an A1-style range such as A1:C5. Saving as BIFF8 writes the worksheet AutoFilter records and the matching built-in filter database name.
To set a field condition while creating the range, call IXLSWorksheet.ApplyAutoFilter. To apply criteria to an existing range object, call IXLSRange.Autofilter(Field, Criteria) on the target range.

Example

Workbook := TXLSWorkbook.Create;
try
  Sheet := Workbook.Sheets[1];
  Sheet.SetAutoFilter('A1:C5');
  Workbook.SaveAs('filtered.xls', xlExcel97);
finally
  Workbook.Free;
end;
