Default My filter does not pick up all text

Hi Sheeloo,

There are blanks, and I have been reading other users with similar problems
in Excel 2007. I will try to format what I can and if I have any further
difficulties I will send you the file - thanks for the quick response! :)

Are there any blank lines in your data?

Can you send the file to me? Click on my name to get my id.

Yes, I know, and the strange thing is I have about 26 lines, which have been
filtered using my first filter, but when I apply my second filter, I only get
the choice of 5 items, and I can see on my screen there are more than
that...I'm not sure what is going on?

Second filter will show only those values in that column which are available
after filtering on the first filter...

I have a spreadsheet with about 3000 rows. I have turned on filters and
filtered one column. I would now like to filter a second column which
contains text entries, however when I try to filter that second column, not
all of the entries show up/I only have a limited selection - why does the
filter seem to show all number entries but not show all text entries to
filter by? How can I correct this?

Thanks,
