Excel 2000 - Autofilter Limit
I have a spreadsheet with over 3500 rows (not really a lot) but the
Autofilter drop down list does not show them all. It only shows approximately 2400 rows. Is there a limit to the number of rows that autofilter can be used on? |

Excel 2000 - Autofilter Limit
Select the entire col(s) before you apply autofilter. Any blank cells/rows
in-between data lines will "break" autofilter. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "NanoMark" wrote: I have a spreadsheet with over 3500 rows (not really a lot) but the Autofilter drop down list does not show them all.

Excel 2000 - Autofilter Limit
The autofilter drop-down list will show only 1000 items.
You have to work around by using "Custom" and choose from options there. Contains..........Greater Than..........Equal to...............and more. See Debra Dalgleish's site for more workarounds to this limit. http://www.contextures.on.ca/xlautofilter02.html#Limits Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Wed, 18 Oct 2006 16:44:01 -0700, NanoMark wrote: I have a spreadsheet with over 3500 rows (not really a lot) but the Autofilter drop down list does not show them all.

Thanks Max, but no blanks or breaks in the data. Apparently there is a 1000
record limit to the drop down autofilter list (see post after yours). "Max" wrote: Select the entire col(s) before you apply autofilter.

Thanks Gord. This answers my question, even if I don't like it! I think the
custom option will be the way to go, it's just harder to train users on that option. Regards, "Gord Dibben" wrote: The autofilter drop-down list will show only 1000 items.

Thanks for the feedback.
This has been a "can you change it" item for quite a while. I don't know if 2007 beta has made any modifications or not. Gord On Thu, 19 Oct 2006 15:32:02 -0700, NanoMark wrote: Thanks Gord.

No prob. Thanks for feedback.
Guess I mis-read. My focus was on your line: .. It only shows approximately 2400 rows. Gord's reading & response was spot on <g -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "NanoMark" wrote in message ... Thanks Max, but no blanks or breaks in the data.
