### Example 


```python
from aspose.cells import Workbook

# Creating a file stream containing the Excel file to be opened
# Instantiating a Workbook object
workbook = Workbook("template.xlsx")
# Accessing the first worksheet in the Excel file
worksheet = workbook.worksheets[0]
# Creating AutoFilter by giving the cells range of the heading row
worksheet.auto_filter.range = "A1:B1"
# Filtering columns with specified values
worksheet.auto_filter.filter(1, "Bananas")
# Saving the modified Excel file.
workbook.save("output.xls")

```
