Dynamic Filters are based on a dynamic comparison condition, where the value we're comparing against the cell values is variable, such as 'today'; or when we're testing against an aggregate of the cell data (e.g. 'aboveAverage'). Only a single dynamic filter can be applied to a column at a time.
Again, we start by specifying a Filter type, this time a DYNAMICFILTER.
$columnFilter->setFilterType(
PHPExcel_Worksheet_AutoFilter_Column::AUTOFILTER_FILTERTYPE_DYNAMICFILTER
);When defining the rule for a dynamic filter, we don't define a value (we can simply set that to NULL) but we do specify the dynamic filter category.
$columnFilter->createRule()
->setRule(
PHPExcel_Worksheet_AutoFilter_Column_Rule::AUTOFILTER_COLUMN_RULE_EQUAL,
NULL,
PHPExcel_Worksheet_AutoFilter_Column_Rule::AUTOFILTER_RULETYPE_DYNAMIC_YEARTODATE
)
->setRuleType(
PHPExcel_Worksheet_AutoFilter_Column_Rule::AUTOFILTER_RULETYPE_DYNAMICFILTER
);We also set the rule type to DYNAMICFILTER.
The valid set of dynamic filter categories is defined in the PHPExcel_Worksheet_AutoFilter_Column_Rule class, and comprises:
