    Mandatory Selections in AutoFilter

    Hi all

    Is it possible to make some selection mandatory on an autofilter?
    In my sheets its possible to filter by value 1, 2, 3, 4
    1, 2, 4 are mandatory selections - the only deselectable items should be 3.

    I've tried googling this - but havent found anything.

    Hi FallingDown,

    The solution which I can think of here is VBA only, please share the sample file. Thanks.

    Hi DILIPandey

    Thanks for your reply
    Unfortunately I cannot upload the file, due to data sensitivity

    (But basicly you could just create a fresh excel file with one column, each row containing either 1, 2, 3 or 4)
    If a user filters the column I want him/her to be forced to select 1, 2 & 4 (in other words, they should only be able to deselect 3)
