Default Select specific column for auto filter

Hi,

Is there a way to select a specific column for autofilter? When I
turn auto-filter on, it creates an auto filter on all the columns (A1-
E1) instead of say, A1, C1, E1. There has to be a way to do this. I
already tried highlighting and turning Autofilter on but it didn't
work.

Thx.

If you highlight a range of entire adjacent columns, Autofilter will turn on
only on highlighted columns.

You don't need to highlight the entire column - suppose you have
headers in row 3 with subtotals above: you might want your filters to
start from row4 onwards, in which case highlight from row3 across and
down. The important thing is to highlight adjacent columns.

Hope this helps.
