Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
How many data rows in total do you have? Do you have any completely blank rows in between your data eg rows 1:500 with data, row 501 blank, row 502:1000 with data?

First remove the autofilter, sort the values and insert new autofilter to the master sheet.

If you are using more than 1000 unique values then it will only display the first 1000 unique values in the drop down list.

Refer the below link for further details.
