Rather than subtract a harcoded value, be dynamic

FieldN = ActiveCell.Column – Selection.Cells(1,1).Column + 1

I've been using this trick definitely as far back as 2000, maybe even 97. In 2007, I have added 5 filtering tools - Clear, Reapply, Filter, Advanced, AutoFilter (i.e. filter on selection) to my QAT (below the Ribbon is my preference). Oh, and don't forget to add the Select Current Region (CTRL+SHIFT+8) and Select Visible Cells (ALT+;) commands also. They make working with lists soooo much easier. The Filter and AutoFilter commands look identical, however the Filter command just applies the AutoFilter arrows to the current region. If the cell you have selected is in the first row of your list, the AutoFilter command acts just like the Filter command and simply adds the AutoFilter arrows to the current selection. But using the AutoFilter command for instant 'filter on active cell' is a must if you work with lists. ‘Filter on Active Cell’ may be a more accurate name as this command won’t filter on more than one cell at a time.

Don’t forget to specify that the filter have to start in the Column A else you would have to decrement FiledN with the offset number from wich column the filter start from.
ie: if your filter start from column C (offset of -2)

FieldN = ActiveCell.Column – 2
