Code to Create Filter in Excel using C# REST API
This example shows how to apply a filter in an Excel sheet using the C# REST interface. You can extend it by filtering multiple columns, defining custom criteria such as numeric ranges or date filters, and even combining sorting with filtering. Moreover, the API lets you format cells, insert charts, protect worksheets, or generate Excel files dynamically from templates.
In this guide we walked through how to enable the auto‑filter feature on one or multiple columns within an Excel worksheet. When you’re ready to transform an Excel file into a PNG image, be sure to explore our tutorial on Convert XLSX to PNG with NET REST API.
