microsoft office - How to get multi-row sort/filtering headers in excel


I have a spreadsheet which uses 2 rows for header information. Filtering by selecting a column is implicitly assuming only 1 row of header information. Sorting has a header row checkbox but that only toggles treating the first row as a header.


Is there a way to make Excel treat the first two rows as headers?



Answer



No. Omit the first row from your range when you auto filter. This way the auto filter buttons appear only on your bottom header row and the data gets filtered. I expect that right now your second header row is getting pulled into your 'data'.


You can't select a single cell and have excel figure this out. You have to select the range of cells you want excel to include.
