Hi

As far as i know, this option is only available when using pivot tables, not
using data / autofilter .... could it be that you're thinking of from your
training course.

I have MS Excel 2002 running in XP Pro. When I use the Data-Autofilter
function, I get an alphabetical list of all names in the drop-down box.
What I would like to have is the check boxes beside each name (drop down
check list) so that I can select more than one name to filter by. Our IT
department advises that this must be a optional function in Excel that
needs to be enabled, but they did not know where this option is located.
Any ideas? I know that this function was available when I trained in excel
last year (version unknown)
