Appling the next criteria in an AutoFilter

Hi,
I have a table with 2 columns. an filter has been set for the 2nd column. Now I need a script that applies "the next available filter" to column 1. Don't know how to explain - please see the attachment: what I need is a script that does the following: set the filter criteria for Column1 to "=4". And the other way - a script that sets the criteria for Column1 to "=1".

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

You can simply use this code for 4 and if u want to do it to 1 then change 4 to 1...

Sub filters()

    ActiveSheet.Range("$A$1:$B$18").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="4"
End Sub

Thanks for the comment, I know, but I want to iterate through the criterias in filter 1. The script should always go to the next available filter criteria.

Thanks so far. That gives me all the unique values in a column.
But what I need as the first step is more a list/an array of values that are shown when I click the button of a filter, e.g. have a look at the image --> I would need an array which contains c1, c2, c3, C4, c5, s2, s3, s4, S5, s6

I managed to solve the problem - ugly, but works.

Thanks for helping!
