Hi all,
I had a similar problem in the past weeks - the auto filter was freezing after a couple of use and I had no other choice than to remove the autofilter and unhide the hidden rows before putting it back for a couple more uses.
A colleague then reminded me of a common practice: instead of adding a filter to the title row, insert a blank row between the row bearing the column titles and your first row of proper data, and add the filter to that blank row. Well, it works for me. I think the filter gets stuck when the column titles get too long for some reason.

make sure the cell is formatted to be "general" and if it is so, could you explain more beside "does not work"
