Change the color of Filter Arrows in Excel to BRIGHT RED
I suggest that Miscrosoft changes the color of the Filter Drop Down List
Arrows to Bright Red, when the column is filtered. Trying to distiguish the non-filtered columns (black arrows) from the filtered columns (currently dark blue) is almost impossible. Make this drop down arrow Bright Red would make it easier and obvious that the spreadsheet you are viewing is limited by a filtering critieria. |

"AT"...This is a great suggestion and LOGICAL. I've been trying to contact
every EXCEL guru I know to find out if this can be done. The final answer I got from A.Wyatt (online Excel tips/tricks) was that it's hardcoded into Excel and can't be changed by the user..... Hopefully, your letter to MS will get the job done ! :-D GDM "AlwaysThinking" wrote: I suggest that Miscrosoft changes the color of the Filter Drop Down List Arrows to Bright Red, when the column is filtered.

Change the color of Filter Arrows in Excel to BRIGHT RED
Has this issue been resolved, or a fix created? I totally agree that the blue
color is next to imposible to see, especially if several columns are involved in the filter.

Not to your satisfaction.
Personally, I think that this should be a user setting. Red could look black to those who are colorblind. manloved wrote: Has this issue been resolved, or a fix created?
