Default size limitations on auto filter

Does anyone know the size limitations for using the auto filter function? I
need to know how many rows it will filter.

Thanks

It'll filter the whole sheet (all 65536 rows (-1 for the header)). But only the
first 1000 unique entries will appear in the dropdown.

You can still use custom to specify any of the others, though.

Debra Dalgleish has some workarounds at:

The limitation is 1,000 different items (ie, 1,000 items in the drop
down list).
