Advanced Filters in Excel
NowshadAhmed Thanks for the follow up and yes, we have had this with standard filter on - but found that it was not filtering all the data in the dataset. Is it not possible to remove the Advanced filter altogether? It doesn't show in any other spreadsheet...
Assume this is your data:
Note that the clear option is greyed off. I have no filter or formatting applied here. Now, if I click on Advanced Filter, this is what I get. Presumably your case. Just ignore this part and follow down.
To make standard filters appear, do the following:
Option 1. Select the header and click on the Filter button
Option 2: Select the whole data and convert it to excel table. If an option shows up, select My Table has headers.
For either methods you can click on the arrows buttons to select your filter option.
Customise your table here. If your data is already part of a table, check 'Filter Button' option.
