Default Excel auto filter does not show all choices for the field?

I have a spreadsheet with client information in approx 3900 rows. Using auto
filter to scroll through alphabetized last name field, the data ends part way
through alphabet. Deleting that row, or a group of rows surrounding that one,
doesn't change the result, it always stops at the same line number. This is a
recent problem, it worked fine for two years!

Jim, AutoFilter dropdown list will only show 1000 entries.
Have a look here for details
