Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 14298
Autofilter fails to select entire spreadsheet contents
Last modified: 2004-01-09 10:23:38 UTC
See URL for zip package containing original XLS file and imported SXC file. I imported an Excel 2000 workbook that contains autofilter headings. I clicked on the SIZE column and defined a manual autofilter for SIZE > 20000. Near the bottom of the sheet I noticed there were row values for SIZE of less than 20000. On closer inspection I noticed that after clicking on the arrow to define the autofilter for that column, the auto-selected area was omitting the last dozen or so rows. Hence, these rows were not being included in the filter. Load the zip package and try it for yourself: look at the autoselected range after setting the filter described.
This issue is very similar to issue 14251. The reason the filter fails is because the filter is activated against an inbuilt database range. This range only covers to row 4744 and not the complete doc which extends to row 4755. The work around is to simply delete the database range: Data->Define Range.
