I have been asked to find out why the auto filter is not finding all the
cells in columns.
eg; When you look down in the cells you find a number, but when you select
autofilter then look for the number it may or not be picked up in the filter
(all)
Any ideas please?

See:

it is just the dropdown list that has the limit, you can still use custom
filter and type in any number(s)
