How to AutoFilter using IF conditions on VBA

Question

I am really new to VBA and I got stuck on a filtering function that I cannot resolve looking online.

I basically built a login form which allows different users to see different data on a "Report sheet" once they log in. In the "Report sheet" I have two columns "P" and "Q" in which some names are reported.

Let's say:

P      Q
User1  User2

Paul   Bob
Martin Martin
Bob    Bob
Tom    Martin
Ralph  Bob

I then used this code on VBA:

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()

Range("Report!$F$6:$Y$11").CurrentRegion.AutoFilter Field:=12, Criteria1:=Range("G3").Value

End Sub

**G3 is the reference cell for the name*

Now, if I login with Bob, using that code, the result will be:

P      Q
User1  User2

Paul   Bob
Bob    Bob
Ralph  Bob

That is correct! However, if I try to login with Paul, no result is available because he's not on the Field:=12 (column "Q").

I would like to do something like this: IF Paul is not on column "Q", stop filtering that column and start filtering column "P".

I tried with:

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()

If Range("Report!$F$6:$Y$11").CurrentRegion.AutoFilter(Field:=12, Criteria1:=Range("G3").Value) Then 'do nothing

Else
Range("Report!$F$6:$Y$11").CurrentRegion.AutoFilter Field:=11, Criteria1:=Range("G3").Value

End If

End Sub 

but I don't really know what to state for positive results.

Thank you in advance to everyone that will help me on that.

You can use Find method of range to see if present

Option Explicit
Public Sub test()
    Dim found As Range
    Set found = Worksheets("Report!").Range("$Q$6:$Q$11").Find(what:=Range("G3").Value, lookat:=xlWhole)

    If Not found Is Nothing Then
        ' Stuff with Field:=12, Criteria1:=Range("G3").Value)
    Else
      ' Stuff with Field:=11, Criteria1:=Range("G3").Value)
    End If
End Sub
