Error is when you try to use Advanced Filter, and error message indicates
"missing or illegal field name." Advanced filter requires a distinguishable
column header and my guess is that your range does not have one. Your list
should follow these requirements (from Help file):

List format
Use formatted column labels Create column labels in the first row of the
list. Excel uses the labels to create reports and to find and organize data.
Use a font, alignment, format, pattern, border, or capitalization style for
column labels that is different from the format you assign to the data in the
list. Format the cells as text before you type the column labels.

Use cell borders When you want to separate labels from data, use cell
borders €” not blank rows or dashed lines €” to insert lines below the labels.
How to apply borders to cells.

Avoid blank rows and columns Avoid putting blank rows and columns in the
list so that Excel can more easily detect and select the list.

Don't type leading or trailing spaces Extra spaces at the beginning or end
of a cell affect sorting and searching. Instead of typing spaces, indent the
text within the cell.
