Does anyone know if there are limitations on how many items you can have in a
filter? In other words, if you have 50000 items in a list, will it only show
10000 items in the filter because Excel caps it at that #?

Excel has a limit of 1000 unique items in an autofilter list. All are
'available' via the 'custom' option, but the dropdown will only show 1000

You can test this by 'autofilling' a column past 1000 and then filtering the
column. It only shows up to 1000 in the drop-down. (97 - 2003)
