Excel COM Server, create Autofilter

Hi, I'm writing a script starting an Excel COM-Server and inserting some data into a sheet. This is works fine but in addition I'm searching for a command to create an Autofilter for a selected Row.

Does anyone know how I can achieve this? I'm searching for a function reference as I'm not very familiar with COM/ActiveX etc. (I also want to fix my window on a certain cell...)

Any help is welcome :)

Hi,

A good way to get the function and command you need it to open Excel and let EXCEL record a macro for you. Simply click on start recording macro, do manually what you like to do in EXCEL and hit stop recording. After recording is done you can look at the VB code which gives you all needed functions and commands.

Some more example code:

e = actxserver ('Excel.Application');
e.Visible = 1;
%eWorkbook = e.Workbooks;
e.Workbooks.Add;
sheet1=e.Worksheets.get('Item', 'Sheet1');
range1 = get(sheet1,'Range','A1:EM671');
range1.Value = arr;
range1 = get(sheet1,'Range','C4');
range1.Select;
e.ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = 1;
range1 = get(sheet1,'Range','3:3');
range1.Select;range1.AutoFilter
