Auto Filter problems...

I am trying to use the auto filter function on a sheet that has about 47000
rows in it. The column I want to auto filter has about 14900 different
values in it. So many of the values are repeated. The problem is that when
I open the auto filter, all of the different values are not available. Only
the first 1000 of them. Is this normal? Is it a limitation of the auto
filter function? I can use custom and pull the info that I need, so that is
working.

Just curious...

Ah, that's what I thought. I had just never ran into this situation before
with that many unique records. Thanks!!

The 1000 limit isn't really the autofilter's limit. It's the limit of how many
unique entries show up in that dropdown.

You can still filter (using custom and typing) to get any of the values in your
list.
 
Yes, I had that figured out. I was just trying to fine another way to do it
without going custom and typing it in.

Thanks!
