XlCustomFilters Class

A custom filter that uses filter values and comparison operators to construct the filter expression.

Namespace: DevExpress.Export.Xl

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Printing.Core

Declaration

public class XlCustomFilters :
    IXlFilter,
    IXlFilterCriteria

Remarks

Create an instance of the XlCustomFilters class and assign it to the XlFilterColumn.FilterCriteria or IXlTableColumn.FilterCriteria property to define the filter criteria for a worksheet or table column, respectively.

An instance of the XlCustomFilterCriteria class defines a filter criterion for a custom filter. It includes a filter value (XlCustomFilterCriteria.Value) and a comparison operator (XlCustomFilterCriteria.FilterOperator). If you create a complex filter expression containing two filter criteria, specify the logical operator (“AND” or “OR”) that should be used to combine these criteria (XlCustomFilters.And).

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

A complete sample project is available at https://github.com/DevExpress-Examples/excel-export-api-examples

// Generate the header row.
using (IXlRow row = sheet.CreateRow())
    row.BulkCells(new string[] { "Region", "Product", "Sales" }, headerRowFormatting);

// Create a custom filter to display values in the "Sales" column that are greater than $4500.
XlCustomFilters filter = new XlCustomFilters(new XlCustomFilterCriteria(XlFilterOperator.GreaterThanOrEqual, 4500));
sheet.AutoFilterColumns.Add(new XlFilterColumn(2, filter));
// Start filtering data.
sheet.BeginFiltering(sheet.DataRange);

// Generate data for the document.
string[] products = new string[] { "Camembert Pierrot", "Gorgonzola Telino", "Mascarpone Fabioli", "Mozzarella di Giovanni" };
int[] amount = new int[] { 6750, 4500, 3550, 4250, 5500, 6250, 5325, 4235 };
for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
{
    using (IXlRow row = sheet.CreateRow())
    {
        using (IXlCell cell = row.CreateCell())
        {
            cell.Value = (i < 4) ? "East" : "West";
            cell.ApplyFormatting(rowFormatting);
        }
        using (IXlCell cell = row.CreateCell())
        {
            cell.Value = products[i % 4];
            cell.ApplyFormatting(rowFormatting);
        }
        using (IXlCell cell = row.CreateCell())
        {
            cell.Value = amount[i];
            cell.ApplyFormatting(rowFormatting);
        }
    }
}

// Finish filtering.
sheet.EndFiltering();
