My filter does not pick up all text
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, |

Second filter will show only those values in that column which are available
after filtering on the first filter... "Katie" wrote: I have a spreadsheet with about 3000 rows. I have turned on filters and filtered one column.

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?

Are there any blank lines in your data?
Can you send the file to me? Click on my name to get my id.

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! :) "Sheeloo" wrote: Are there any blank lines in your data?

If you do not select the whole range then Auto Filter filters the range only
upto the first blank row... This is not new to Excel 2007. Try this Remove the filter Select your whole range you want to filter Then choose Data|Filter|AutoFilter "Katie" wrote: Hi Sheeloo, There are blanks, and I have been reading other users with similar problems in Excel 2007.
