Default Filter lists

I have a large list of names in a column and I use the auto filter to speed
up my search for names in this column when attempting to cross reference with
other lists. I noticed that not all the names in the list show up when
clicking the filter arrow. Why is this. Is there a limit to the number of
items in a filter list.

Default Filter lists

Hi

Autofilter has a display list limit of 1000 rows.
There are workarounds to this available at Debra Dalgleish's site
