Hi,
Whenever I use the Autofilter option I have to manually drag the window out so it's wider and longer - I'm doing this everytime as my selections are many and wide (lots of characters), am doing this several hundred times during each session!!
Is there some VBA or setting that will widen the Autofilter drop down window?
Thanks.

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
