Finding active filters in Excel.
 

Excel needs a stronger visual cue to alert a user to an active filter. The
current visual cue, a blue highlight on the tiny triangle on the filter glyph
itself, is inadequate.

Text in headers for rows selected by a filter appear blue. Excel should at
least match that visual cue in the text of the colum headers with an active
filter.
