Retrieve / Get First Row of Excel AutoFilter using VBA

Extract First Row of the Filtered Range using Excel VBA

We can create filters programmatically using Excel VBA (AutoFilter using Excel VBA) and also add multiple criteria to it (Create AutoFilter with Multiple Criteria using Excel VBA). Once we get the filtered data, either we extract the same or iterate each row in it and do some operations. Here is one such simple program to extract the rows of filtered range using VBA

Sub Get_Filtered_Range()

Dim oWS As Worksheet

Dim oRng As Range

Dim oColRng As Range

Dim oInRng As Range

On Error GoTo Err_Filter

oWS = ActiveSheet

oWS.UsedRange.AutoFilter(Field:=2, Criteria1:="Banana")

oRng = oWS.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)

oColRng = oWS.Range("A2:A5000")

oInRng = Intersect(oRng, oColRng)

MsgBox("Filtered Range is " & oInRng.Address)

MsgBox("First Row Filtered Range is " & oInRng.Rows(1).Row)

Finally:

If Not oWS Is Nothing Then oWS = Nothing

Err_Filter:

If Err <> 0 Then

MsgBox(Err.Description)

Err.Clear()

GoTo Finally

End If

End Sub

    I am having problem using part of the code.
    oRng = oWS.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)

    Is Cells suppose to be a object variable? Cause I keep getting an error message that says object not set.

    It should be

    Set oRng = oWS.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
