Default Excel Auto Filter

Hi Max,

Thank you, I have been to the contextures site below and found a solution to
the problem. I will show this to the user.

Regards,
Chris.

There's a 1000 limit on the number of unique items which can appear in the
autofilter's droplist.

Debra's page has some cool workarounds:

If the above is not the issue, try selecting the entire col(s) before you
re-apply the autofilter (there could be some blank rows within the data)

Hello, I have a user with a Spreadsheet with a list of names. When Autofilter
is used some of the names are missing on the list. When the list is sorted in
asscending order the name then appears on the list. Does anyone know whether
this is a known bug in Excel or has anyone come accross this before? It's not
a problem really, but it would be nice to know.

Chris.
