Excel version?

Did you try Data-Filter-Show All?

Are you able to change cell values? If not then workbook/sheet may be
protected...

Weird. I received a spreadsheet from someone and I need to sort it. It
looks like they have done something with filtering though that is blocking me
from doing any sorts on the data. The filter button was highlighted and I
turned it off, but I still have the same problem. I know it is something
dumb, but I am stumped.

Thanks,
