Auto Filter Not working
 
I have a worksheet that has an auto filter.

Every now and again... it "stops" working. AS IF there was an empty row
amidst the data. But there is not (I promise.)

When I go into the advanced filter .. I can see that the "range" is limited
down to only.. e.g., row 1061. I can change the range to either row 6000...
or to select all of the columns (rather than state a range) and then put back
the autofilter and it works.

but it will happen again in a bit.

Has anyone ever had this.. bug - I mean feature?

Auto Filter Not working
 

Hello,
autofilter in excel only show the first 1000 entry/rows in a worksheet.
thats why you dont see all the data when drop down the autofilter.

Auto Filter Not working
 
Thanks. We'll see. This morning when I went in - it was limited to only the
first 299 rows (i.e., looked funky.. and when I looked at the advanced filter
(which is my current method for "fixing" -it reflected that the range was
limited to an upper limit of 299 rows).

The worksheet is used by many.. so I suppose it's possible that it had a
larger range and then rows were deleted.. but every time I go in.. I redefine
the range to 35,000 or 50,000 so I wouldn't think that would happen. But
I'll keep an eye on it.

I also followed your link.. and I may try some of those hints/tricks too.
thanks,
beata
