Auto number or renumber after filter with VBA code
In the filtered status, you can’t apply the Autofill handle to fill the number sequence, you just can fill them by typing the numbers one by one. But, this will be tedious and time consuming if there are a lot of cells needed renumbering. Here, I will introduce a VBA code to solve this task.
1. Hold down the ALT + F11 keys, and it opens the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window.
2. Click Insert > Module, and paste the following macro in the Module window.
VBA code: Auto number or renumber after filter
Sub Renumbering()
'Updateby Extendoffice
Dim Rng As Range
Dim WorkRng As Range
On Error Resume Next
xTitleId = "KutoolsforExcel"
Set WorkRng = Application.Selection
Set WorkRng = Application.InputBox("Range", xTitleId, WorkRng.Address, Type: = 8)
Set WorkRng = WorkRng.Columns(1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
xIndex = 1
For Each Rng In WorkRng
Rng.Value = xIndex
xIndex = xIndex + 1
Next
End Sub
3. After pasting the code, please press F5 key to run this code, and a prompt box will pop out to remind you select a range cells that you want to auto number or renumber the rows, see screenshot:
4. Then click OK, and your selected range cells have been renumbered sequentially as below screenshot shown:
Note: This code will destroy the original series row numbers when you cancel the filter function. So you need back up your data first.
