I have a workbook that uses Autofilter.
Column A has data. Column B is hidden, has no data, and is empty.
Colmn C has data, on through the rest of the sheet (to Column AB).
Why column B has no data is unimportant for now. It, however, must maintain its existance and cannot be deleted.
When I select the autofilter sort button on column A, it selects only that column, and not the rest of the sheet. Data is subsequently scrambled.
When I unhide the empty column B and select the sort button on column B, it selects the entire sheet. Data remains intact.
When I select the sort button on column C, it selects the rest of the sheet, but not column A (with data), or B (with no data). Data is subsequently scrambled.
What is going on?
Will I need to put some data (even an X) in the cells of column B so the autofilter will always select the entire sheet? Or can column B remain the way it is and there is some other fix I can use to get the autofilter to reliably select the entire sheet? If I have to put data in column B do I have to put data in all the cells, or will just a few suffice?
To make matters more frustrating, I have another sheet in the workbook that also has a hidden column B, and this works just fine. However, there is data in most cells of that sheet's column B.
