Excel 2003 doesn't filter correctly
All of a sudden I can't filter a colum correctly. I use filtering to find
records that have been "started", "done", "cancelled", "paid", etc. I have made sure that the colum is formated for text. When I use the filter I get other unwanted records in addition to my filter request. This seems to only be happening on a summary sheet in 1 workbook. The other sheets seem to filter just fine. I have had no problem for the last 6 months using filters with this workbook until recently. Does anybody else have this situation? |

Do those extra things show up at the bottom of good stuff?
If yes, look at the row numbers for those cells. If they're grey, then those rows were not a part of the filtered range. If they're blue, then this isn't the problem. I don't let excel guess my range to filter (or sort or chart or ...). I select my cells explicitly and then do Data|filter... tclarke012 wrote: All of a sudden I can't filter a colum correctly.

filters don't work if you have a blank row in between
have you checked that too? ~tom "tclarke012" wrote in message ... All of a sudden I can't filter a colum correctly.
