I have an excel spreadsheet mainly of company, person's name, salesman contact and some other columns. I turn on autofilter to search for a person's name and they do not appear in the alphabetized pulldown list. And as a matter of fact only a portion of the names appear in the pull-down list and there is no rhyme or reason to who appears and who doesn't as far as I can tell. However, when I search for the same person's company they work for, the company does appear and their name shows up in the same row, as it should. Any reason that autofilter filters OUT information that should be there? ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
