Autofilter, if left to its own devices, will stop at the first blank row.
Try highlighting the data that you want to filter before applying
Autofilter.

An alternative, though I don't recommend it, is to provide *links* across
blank rows even if it is only one cell with a space in it but I think that
this will eventually cause you grief.

Hi

data is age in years and months. I've used text to columns to provide two
columns of data - A = years and B = months.

The data is not contiguous and I have been using autofilter on similar
spreadsheets to check blanks and #num etc so that I don't have to go
through
all data.

That's been working well until today when autofilter seems to be filtering
only part of the column until it reaches a blank cell.

could anyone tell me why it's doing this and if there is a fix.

Probably being dense but this was only supposed to be a small part of work
and now seems a major blockage aaaaghh

TIA
