    problem with filter in excel 2016

    The filter doesn't seem to be working correctly.

    I have a spreadsheet (attached) that has filter set on for all columns. When I select the filter in column G it lists only zeroes and blanks, however several cells actually have a value of "Row #". Cell G412 is an example.

    I column H I have several different groups of rows with coloring, but when I select the filter for that column the "Filter by Color option is not available (Greyed out).

    I have turned all filters off and back on to verify there is not another column being filtered.

    Also, I got an Excel forum database error when I tried to post the same problem earlier.

    Re: problem with filter in excel 2016

    The filter only applies down to row 409 (and to column 24) because that row (and column) are completely blank. (See point number 1 sub paragraphs 2 and 3 here: http://www.contextures.com/xlautofilter01.html ). If you want to include rows beyond 409 in your autofilter, you need to include some kind of data in those rows so they are not blank, or remove those rows.

    Wow, that's pretty cumbersome if you need blanks in those rows. I will be able to put something there just to make the filter work though. Thanks for the fast response. I was a little be-wildered.

    Best Regards
