Hi,

I am using

ActiveSheet.ShowAllData

in a piece of VBA and it causes an error if the sheet does not have a filter applied! Is there an if statement I can use to check if the data is filtered?

Thanks - this site is an absolute life saver!

This should help.
Code: 
Sub TurnAutoFilterOn()
'check for filter, turn on if none exists
  If Not ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode Then
    ActiveSheet.Range("A1").AutoFilter
  End If
End Sub

Hi Rich

You can do this in combination with the AutofilterMode property:

Code: 
If Activesheet.AutoFiltermode Then 'autofilter is 'on'
   On Error Resume Next   'turn off error reporting
   Activesheet.ShowAllData
   On Error Goto 0   'turn error reporting back on
End If

the correct property is FilterMode, hence
Code: 
If Sheets("archive").FilterMode Then Sheets("archive").ShowAllData

Depends on your definition of "the sheet does not have a filter applied!".

If as the OP appears to want it only if the data is being filtered then you are correct.
