AutoFilter list problem
I am using Excel 97. I have set the autofilter feature in Excel to the
column labels. When I select the drop down arrow on column B, it does not show me all the unique data that could be selected in the list. I only see a portion of unique values. The list is contiguous (no blank rows). Is there a limit to how much data will display in the drop down list? TIA Jan |

AutoFilter list problem

bad news ... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q295971/ Not all list items are displayed in the AutoFilter list in Excel This article was previously published under Q295971 SYMPTOMS When you use the AutoFilter command in Microsoft Excel, the AutoFilter list may not display all the unique visible items in a column as expected. CAUSE In the products that are listed in the "Applies to" section, the limitation of the amount of entries in the AutoFilter list is 1,000. If you have more than 1,000 unique items in the list, only the first 1,000 items appear. WORKAROUND To work around this issue, use the AutoFilter command on several smaller sections of the data instead of on all the data at the same time. All list items will be visible if each subset has no more unique members than the limit for the particular version of Excel. Regards Trevor "Jan" wrote in message ... I am using Excel 97.

AutoFilter list problem
Trevor,
At least that explains it. I was going nuts trying to determine why. I also searched KB at Microsoft, but I guess I wasn't entering the correct search criteria. Thank you.
