It should filter from anywhere, highlight the entire row you want to filter
by clicking on the row label and filter away

Hello Excel experts,

I've designed an Excel spreadsheet for work, which consists of summarising
figures for the 12 months of the year, with a separate worksheet for each
month.

On each monthly worksheet, I've used the first four lines to summarise the
data contained in the rest of the sheet. The fifth row is used to define
the colume data labels, and the actual data is contained in rows six
onwards.

Since the first row is not being used to define the column labels, it
seems I can't use Autofilter, which I've just discovered is perfect for
what I need to do: to hide some rows depending on whether a cell contains
data or not.

Is there a way to get Autofilter when the data doesn't start in the first
row?

Many thanks,
Paul
