The Autofilter misses some numbers
Hi all, I have a spreadsheet that has a lot of different ID numbers on it which repeat in various places down the column. I put on the autofilter so I can click the drop down and select whatever ID number I want and it displays all the entries with that ID number grouped together. That works great but it leaves out some of the ID numbers. I've re-created the spreadsheet, put the column in a text file and imported etc but it still leaves out some of the numbers. Any ideas, this is driving me nuts Dale -- DaleH ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DaleH's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=35091 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=548512 |

you probably have blank lines in the data - which Excel interprets as end of
data. Solution is to select as a range the entire block of data, then apply the autofilter. "DaleH" wrote in message ...

You can only use 1000 unique records for the auto filter to work Thanks Dale -- DaleH ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DaleH's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=35091 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=548512 |

One recommended work-round is a helper column to sub-divide the original list (such as 0-1000, 1000-2000, etc.), filter on that first, and then fine-tune from there. -- David Biddulph |

I had a user with a similar complaint recently.
Make sure there are no hidden rows within your data range. Select the entire sheet by clicking on the blank rectangle above row 1 and left of column A, then click: format row unhide. -- Carlos "DaleH" wrote in message ...
