excel vba advanced-filter

I'm updating my dependencies and I'm having trouble with I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock..... I'm dealing with I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock. I'm trying to use Excel VBA to create an advanced filter that references a criteria range located on a different worksheet. However, I'm working with a Runtime behavior 1004: "Application-defined or object-defined behavior" when executing my code. I've created a criteria range on 'Sheet2' that contains the fields and criteria for filtering, but it seems like the filter isn't recognizing the range correctly. Here’s the relevant portion of my code: ```vba Sub ApplyAdvancedFilter() Dim wsSource As Worksheet Dim wsCriteria As Worksheet Set wsSource = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1") Set wsCriteria = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2") wsSource.Range("A1:B100").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterInPlace, CriteriaRange:=wsCriteria.Range("A1:B2") End Sub ``` I’ve double-checked that the criteria range is properly defined and that it has the same headers as in the source data. The criteria range is structured like this: ``` Header1 Header2 Value1 Value2 ``` Despite that, when I run the macro, it throws an behavior and doesn’t filter the data. I'm using Excel 2016, and I've also tried to ensure that my ranges are correctly named and that there are no merged cells in the criteria. Could there be something I’m overlooking, such as the need to activate the worksheets before calling the filter or a specific setting I need to adjust in Excel? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Any ideas what could be causing this? I'm working on a application that needs to handle this. I'm developing on Ubuntu 20.04 with Vba. I've been using Vba for about a year now. How would you solve this? I've been using Vba for about a year now. I'm coming from a different tech stack and learning Vba. Is there a better approach?
