Specifies a criterion value and comparison operator for a custom filter.

Namespace: DevExpress.Export.Xl

Assembly: DevExpress.Printing.v24.1.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Printing.Core

Declaration

C#

public class XlCustomFilterCriteria

VB.NET

Public Class XlCustomFilterCriteria

Related API Members

The following members return XlCustomFilterCriteria objects:

• XlCustomFilters.First
• XlCustomFilters.Second

Remarks

Create an instance of the XlCustomFilterCriteria class to define a filter criterion for a custom filter (XlCustomFilters). Specify a filter value (XlCustomFilterCriteria.Value) and a comparison operator (XlCustomFilterCriteria.FilterOperator).

Pass the created XlCustomFilterCriteria object to the XlCustomFilters constructor as a parameter to create the filter expression. If you create a complex filter expression containing two filter criteria, specify what logical operator (“AND” or “OR”) should be used to combine these criteria (XlCustomFilters.And).

Refer to the Filtering article to learn more about filtering in the Excel Export Library.
