Default is there a limit to the number of rows the filter can handle?

I have and Excel spread sheet w/ 12000+ rows of data. With common data on
many of the rows. Is there a limit to the Filter? I'm not picking up all the
data. I have tried turning off the filter, save, and turning the column
filter back on.

The AutoFilter will only display the first 1000 unique values in your range.
It will still filter all data, but only 1000 unique values will show up on
the drop-down list. Although not ideal, you can use the "Custom" option to
find values that don't appear.

Hi hungatep. Take a look at Debra Dalgleish's site. It shows how to filter
more than 1,000 items in a column.
