Suggested Improvement to Excel Filter Drop-Down
When a worksheet has the Data Filter applied, the drop-down list has the
option "(Select All)" listed first and the option "(Blanks)" listed last. In a column that has many unique entries, scrolling down to select/unselect "(Blanks)" or scrolling back up the list to select/unselect "(Select All)" is annoying. If these options were fixed at the top, then the user only has to scroll through the data in the list. The "(Select All)" and "(Blanks)" selections are always available, so if the user decides that the "(Select All)" or "(Blanks)" selection should be changed, it will be much easier to do. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Suggested Improvement to Excel Filter Drop-Down
Blanks and Non-blanks are only visible in the drop-down if there are
any in the filter range. Similarly, errors are listed at the bottom, but only if they exist in the column. The options All, Top 10, and Custom will apply in all cases.
