When Autofilter has been selected, and we look in the drop down box in a selection, the total number of the 'lines' in the drop down box is not much more than 1000 lines. That means i dont get the data of rows over these 1000 records. How do i increase the total nbr of lines in the dropd down box.
pls advise

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
I suppose you have a blankl row after 1000 lines. If yes then delete that row and apply autofilter again.

As far as I know the maximum number of different items shown in autofilter is 1000. Therefore deleting balnks will nto help.
If you know what you want to filter by, use the custom option.

I think that you have reached the limit of values that it will display. Once you get that sort of number it makes it hard to use it for record selection anyway! You could add another column to use as a first step to reduce the choices, say an alphabectial list if you are sorting text. Filter for "A"'s first then look at all the words starting "A"
