So I have 4 columns and thousands of rows. I want to look for one word that appears either in column 3 OR 4 and get rid of the rest. So filtering doesn't appear to work as I apply the filter in one column and this hides any row where the word doesn't exist, but it may exist in the next column.
I have tried:
lr = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
With ActiveSheet.Range("$A$1:$D$" & lr)
AutoFilter Field:=3, Criterial:="Test1" or AutoFilter Field:=4, Criterial:="Test1"
End With
So I suspect it will need something more clever.
AdvancedFilter
Formula in Sheet2!E2
=OR(Sheet1!C2="Test1",Sheet1!D2="Test1")

VBA
Sub FilterData()
Dim wb As Workbook: Set wb = ThisWorkbook ' workbook containing this code
' Source Range
Dim sws As Worksheet: Set sws = wb.Sheets("Sheet1")
Dim srg As Range: Set srg = sws.Range("A1").CurrentRegion
' Criteria Range
Dim cws As Worksheet: Set cws = wb.Sheets("Sheet2")
Dim crg As Range: Set crg = cws.Range("A1").CurrentRegion
' Filter.
srg.AdvancedFilter xlFilterInPlace, crg
End Sub
