I'm not sure what you mean by filter "tabs".
("tabs" is a term derived from the index tabs on file folders that the sheet
"tabs" are made to resemble)
You may be referring to the autofilter pull-down/drop-downs?
So, it sounds like you want to enter a value into a cell and have the
autofilters update for each keystroke.
that SPECIFICALLY isn't possible.
Because the Excel "events" that apply to the cell are Selection and Change
events.
Which only, as you observed, get triggered when you exit the cell.
However, you COULD use a userform.
Use the SelectionChange event to determine if the specific cell is selected and
open the userform.
The userform change event IS on a keystroke basis.
you update the autofilters as keys are typed, then write the value to the cell
when the userform exits.
