Default How do I see more than 1000 autofilter drop down items
Craig

In versions earlier than 2007 the limit is 1000 items will be shown.

You can use a custom like "contains" or "equal to" etc.

See Debra Dalglesih's site for other workarounds.

Hi

I have a long list of over 12,000 individual company names...yet when I
apply an autofilter to the list and click the down arrow besides company
name, it only lists the first 1000 items so I cant scroll down and see all
the companys in the drop down list Do you know why this is so? Got any
ideas on how I can list all of the companys in the drop down list?
thank you very much!!
