Default Advanced Filters - can I "not"

No. Autofilter works happily up to Excel's limit of 65536 rows. There is a
limit as to how many data values Autofilter will show in the drop-down box,
but there are workrounds for that.

Thanks Richard, I had tried that but there was a limit to the number of
rows
that you can filter using Autofilter - I think it was 300. I ended up
with
an advanced filter with 2 criteria rows, one with <0 and the other with
0.

It worked fine like this although there is probably another way to achieve
this it saved me an all night task!

Thanks for taking the time to respond tho.

Regards

Wendy

Hi Wendy

Have you tried using a standard Autofilter and using a custom filter
from the dropdown arrow of the relevant column of "Does not equal" 0?

I would be grateful for any help - I have a spreadsheet with 8000 rows,
I
would like to be able to hide the rows that contain a 0.00 - and
entering the
0 in the advanced filter worked fine - however I would also like to be
able
to see the data that is a negative ie -109.00 Is there some way I can
enter
Not 0.00 or does not equal 0.00 Does any of this work in advanced
filters??
Many thanks for any advice
