Calc how to display Autofilter values? Not answered, maybe insight from Excel elicits answer

Many moons ago I was using some Calc sheets with AutoFilter routinely. The
filter value would be changed, the sheet closed and sometime later opened
again.

To understand the displayed rows the filter values needed to be known. And
that involved opening each filter and checking the value.

So I asked, is there a way to display those values? No answers. And the
need went away.

Just recently had the same need in Excel. Found online the exact answer
needed to make it work.
https://www.extendoffice.com/documents/excel/1444-excel-display-show-filter-criteria.html
The section "Display / Show auto filter criteria in worksheet with VBA
code" is what I referenced.

I've used that info to try and extrapolate a similar method in Calc to no
avail.

Have done a limited amount of searching in Andrew Pitonyak's OpenOffice.org
Macros Explained book and searched through OASIS Open Document Format
documents using terms like "filter" and "range". The answer might have been
staring me in the face, I'm thinking in particular of section 15.6.3 of
Andrew Pitonyak's OpenOffice.org Macros Explained, but I just didn't
understand it.

Can anyone provide guidance to display the autofilter values in a Calc
sheet equivalent to the instructions provided for Excel at the link above?

Thank you.
