    Excel spreadsheet-Am now unable to filter or sort data

    I have a large spreadsheet which opens as (name of spreadsheet).xls [Group]. Am now unable to filter or sort data (although I have done so in the past) as drop-down menus are grey. Any help please? Jane

    Hi,

    The [Group] in the filename shows that you have more than one sheet selected, which will prevent filters working.

    Right click on any of the sheet tabs, and select "Ungroup Sheets"
    Rule 1: Never merge cells
    Rule 2: See rule 1
