Excel filter issues
- Jul 10, 2017
Sergei, the Excel version 1706 has a known problem with filters. It has been reported to the Excel developers. Search filters will not help in this scenario, because Excel does not include some date ranges in the filter in the first place. The search only searches in what the filter already includes. If the filter does not include it, it cannot be discovered by search.
There is a known issue in Excel 1706 with date filters not showing all the dates of the data in the column.
Currently, the only workaround is to roll back to Excel 1705, where the problem does not occur. This article explains how to roll back to a previous version.
Another couple workarounds could be
1) Use search filter
2) Convert data to table and use the slicer, for this particular case it's not too big

Ingeborg, perhaps on some concrete builds. I'm on 1706 and search workaround works with me.
And for 10,000 limit same Microsoft gives https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/295971/not-all-items-are-displayed-in-the-autofilter-pivottable-list

We're still gathering reports on which versions and builds show the problem.
It may be just a few builds of the 1706 version, not all of them.
