Excel rows seem missing: clear the active filter first

A filter can hide records without deleting them. Inspect active filter controls before restoring backups or re-entering data.

By RJ Computers

Quick answer

A filter can hide records without deleting them. Inspect active filter controls before restoring backups or re-entering data.

Understand the issue

Record the expected item and the current view. Clearing a filter is a useful comparison, but keep a note of the original criteria if the view belongs to someone else's workflow.

Step-by-step checks

  1. Inspect filtered columns.
  2. Clear the relevant filter or all filters for comparison.
  3. Search for the expected record again.

Does a gap in visible row numbers prove deletion?

No. Filters and other hiding settings can suppress visible rows.
