It was just surprising that there were similar questions within momemts of each
other.

Glad you got it working--even if you aren't Paputxi <vbg.

If you apply your filter (filtering by that value--not just putting the arrows
in place) once more, look at the row numbers to the left.

The row numbers that are part of the autofilter range are blue. If the row
numbers are still gray, then they weren't part of your autofilter range.

Remove the filter arrows
Data|Filter|autofilter
then select your range--don't let excel guess
and reapply data|filter|autofilter

Then test it out.

When I filter a spreadsheet I have, I ask for criteria in two columns.
Sometimes rows show up that do not meet that criteria i.e, column 1 - select
those with X; column 2 - select those with the category "abroad" - and some
items show up in the filter that do not have an X in the column. Why is that
- what do I need to do to get accurate information.
