Namespace: DevExpress.Spreadsheet
Assembly: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.v23.2.Core.dll
NuGet Package: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.Core
Declaration
void ApplyCustomFilter(
FilterValue firstCriteria,
FilterComparisonOperator firstCriteriaOperator,
FilterValue secondCriteria,
FilterComparisonOperator secondCriteriaOperator,
bool criterionAnd
)Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| firstCriteria | FilterValue | A FilterValue object that specifies the first filter criterion value. |
| firstCriteriaOperator | FilterComparisonOperator | A FilterComparisonOperator enumeration member that defines the comparison operator for the first filter criterion. |
| secondCriteria | FilterValue | A FilterValue object that specifies the second filter criterion value. |
| secondCriteriaOperator | FilterComparisonOperator | A FilterComparisonOperator enumeration member that defines the comparison operator for the second filter criterion. |
| criterionAnd | Boolean | A Boolean value indicating whether the logical operator "AND" should be used to combine two filter criteria. If false, the "OR" operator is used. |
Remarks
Use the ApplyCustomFilter method to filter values by two criteria, as illustrated in the example below.
Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets["Regional sales"];
workbook.Worksheets.ActiveWorksheet = worksheet;
// Enable filtering for the specified cell range.
CellRange range = worksheet["B2:E23"];
worksheet.AutoFilter.Apply(range);
// Filter values in the "Reported Date" column to display dates that are between June 1, 2014 and February 1, 2015.
worksheet.AutoFilter.Columns[3].ApplyCustomFilter(new DateTime(2014, 6, 1), FilterComparisonOperator.GreaterThanOrEqual, new DateTime(2015, 2, 1), FilterComparisonOperator.LessThanOrEqual, true);
You can also use wildcards and the FilterValue.FilterByBlank value to perform more versatile filtering.
Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets["Regional sales"];
workbook.Worksheets.ActiveWorksheet = worksheet;
// Enable filtering for the specified cell range.
CellRange range = worksheet["B2:E23"];
worksheet.AutoFilter.Apply(range);
// Filter values in the "Product" column that contain "Gi" and include empty cells.
AutoFilterColumn products = worksheet.AutoFilter.Columns[1];
products.ApplyCustomFilter("*Gi*", FilterComparisonOperator.Equal, FilterValue.FilterByBlank, FilterComparisonOperator.Equal, false);
