    Forcing Advanced filter to cancel criteria if found no matches.

    I have a advanced filter that works pretty much close to how I want it to. However I would like it to either cancel the new filter or copy everything if it finds 0 matches.

    If the copied location is blank it breaks my sheet. So I need to find a way for it to never be blank, either by canceling it, copying everything, or finding some other way I haven't thought of.

    Also for some reason my Advanced Filter does NOT Ignore blank "OR" cells. If I place a word in the top cell, then leave the bottom blank, it searches for the top cell or anything and I end up with everything. Its quite frustrating.

    Re: Forcing Advanced filter to cancel criteria if found no matches.

    I am sure im completely making a mess of this, but I have only been working with VBA for little over 2 weeks or so, and my knowledge is limited.

    I attempted to input your code in there then check if its 0, if 0 then clear the criteria and reapply the filter, which would reset it back to a full list, but it gives me a "Compile Error: Method or data member not found". Any Suggestions?

    Heres my current code.

    Re: Forcing Advanced filter to cancel criteria if found no matches.

    I got it to work with this code now.

    Thanks for the help in pointing me in the right direction. I am still curious as to why my Advanced Filter wont ignore the blank cells in the OR line automatically, I keep having to try and find a way to make each cell = a blank space just to let it calc which of course makes trouble for other cells etc.
