Filtering the data in the large dataset\u2019s spreadsheet helps to simplify the <strong>complex datasets, facilitate quick analysis<\/strong>, and make data-driven decisions.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Why Is My Filter Not Working in Excel?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>filter option not working in Excel<\/strong> mainly happens when applying the filter function on a protected worksheet. Apart from this, some other causes can lead to this problem:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Stipulating incorrect criteria in the columns of the filter.<\/li>\n<li>The blank row within the spreadsheet.<\/li>\n<li>Corrupted Excel workbook.<\/li>\n<li>The data you\u2019re attempting to filter is in merged cells.<\/li>\n<li>Grouped sheets in the file.<\/li>\n<li>Trying to apply the filter on an unacceptable data range.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>What to Do If Filter Function Not Working in Excel?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Let me tell you very clearly that the filter option fails to work under two different situations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#Situation1\">Situation 1- Filter Function Isn\u2019t Valid or Not Working<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#Situation2\">Situation 2- Filter Option Greyed Out in Excel<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All you need to do is to follow the below solutions according to your current situation.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"Situation1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Situation 1- Filter Function Isn\u2019t Valid or Not Working<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Way 1- Clearing the Applied Filters<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you have previously applied the filter option in your Excel worksheet but forgot to remove it, then it could be the reason behind this problem. You can simply clear out the applied filters by following these steps to solve the problem:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In the Excel document, go to <strong>Home\u00a0<\/strong>tab.<\/li>\n<li>Then, click on the \u2018<strong>Sort &amp; Filter\u2019\u00a0<\/strong>option.<\/li>\n<li>Now, select the <strong>Clear<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8113 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.repairmsexcel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/7revert.png\" alt=\"Sort &amp; Filter\" width=\"279\" height=\"269\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Way 2- <\/strong><b><strong> Unmerge Merged Cells<\/strong><\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another reason for your <strong>filter in Excel not working<\/strong> is because of the merged cells. So, consider unmerging if you have any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.repairmsexcel.com\/blog\/merge-rows-and-columns-in-excel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>merged cells<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>in the spreadsheet<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If the column headings are being merged, then the Excel filter becomes unable to choose the items present from the merged columns. The same thing happens with the merged rows. Excel filter won\u2019t count the merged rows of data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For unmerging the cells:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"ocpLegacyBold\">Go to the<strong> Home <\/strong>tab and then go to<strong> Alignment<\/strong> group. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"ocpLegacyBold\">Now hit the down arrow present across <\/span><b class=\"ocpLegacyBold\">Merge &amp; Center<\/b> and choose the <b class=\"ocpLegacyBold\">Unmerge Cells<\/b> option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8114 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.repairmsexcel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/doc-unmerge-cells3-3.png\" alt=\"Unmerge Cells\" width=\"653\" height=\"535\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Also Read<\/span>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.repairmsexcel.com\/blog\/excel-freeze-panes-not-working\">Excel Freeze Panes Not Working Fixes- 2024 Guide!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Way 3- <\/strong><strong>Check &amp; Delete Blank Cells<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Well, if your spreadsheet contains empty rows or columns or if you only want to filter out the specific range, choose the section that you want to filter before turning on the Filter. If you don\u2019t choose the area then Excel applies the filter on the complete one. This can also result in selection up to the first empty column or rows excluding the data present after the blanks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So it will be better if you manually select the data in which you want to apply the <strong>Excel filter function.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">To remove the blank rows from the selected filter area.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">First of all turn on the filter and then click on the drop-down arrow present in any columns to show the filter list.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Now remove the check sign across the <strong>\u2018(Select All)\u2019<\/strong> and then shift right to the bottom of the filter list.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Choose the <strong>\u2018(Blanks)\u2019 <\/strong>option and tap to the <strong>OK.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3969 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.repairmsexcel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Excel-Filter-Blanks.png\" alt=\"Excel-Filter-Blanks\" width=\"335\" height=\"514\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.repairmsexcel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Excel-Filter-Blanks.png 335w, https:\/\/www.repairmsexcel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Excel-Filter-Blanks-196x300.png 196w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 335px) 100vw, 335px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">After this only, the blank rows will appear on your screen.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">For easy identification, the row number of each blank row appears in blue color.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">For deleting up these blank rows.

Suppose, if you are filtering the &#8216;<strong>Top 10<\/strong>&#8216;, &#8216;<strong>Above Average<\/strong>&#8216; or &#8216;<strong>Below Average<\/strong>&#8216; values within your list then using the <b><strong>Number <\/strong><\/b><b><strong>F<\/strong><\/b><b><strong>ilters<\/strong><\/b> gets compulsory. Otherwise, the error may hinder your Excel application from applying the filter.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For removing up the errors use the filters to fetch them. Usually, they get listed at the list\u2019s bottom so scroll down.<\/li>\n<li>Choose the error and tap to the OK option. After locating up the error, fix or delete it and then only clear up the filter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Way 5- <\/strong><strong>Check The Column Headings<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Check the data which has only one row of column headings.

One cell is formatted in \u201ccurrency\u201d format and another one is formatted in \u201cnumber\u201d format. So when you make use of the \u201c<strong>Number Filters<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Equals\u201d<\/strong> option, then Excel will only fetch the matches in which you have typed the number format.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Only typing the text 1000 will search the match for the cells only in the number format. Whereas typing the text $1,000.00 will look for the cells which are formatted as \u2018Currency\u2019. The same rule is also applicable in the case of dates. 16-Jan-19 and 16\/01\/2019 both are different.
