Hi Jamie

Instead of defining a larger range with blanks to allow for later data
entry, create a Dynamic named range for your data and pass the named
range to Advanced Filter instead of your static range. That way, there
will always be data in the relevant fields and you won't have the
problems with blanks.

For help on setting up Dynamic Ranges take a look at Debra Dalgleish's
site

i have an advanced filter that i want to display unique values, but due
to
cells being added later on, i have the filter on more cells than
contents at
the moment, but its taking a blank cell as a unique value, which i
dont want.

can you add an excpetion so that the cell must contain data or not
empty to
then be filtered? i have looked on this website but found nothing -

if not, is there another way to do this?

thanks
