Thanks, good ideas and discussion there. My problem isn't exactly what is
described. My problem is when the filter is applied the status bar still
shows "Ready". Something is whacky on the data on this sheet. Can't
figure out what it is.

Actually, here is another data point. The work-around that is described on
the Microsoft site, i.e. turn off automatic formula calculations, works for
my situation too. The funny thing is I have no formulas on this worksheet
at all.

I also am curious.
If you wish, you could email the workbook to me.
But, if copying the data to a new sheet solves the problem why not do that and
delete the original?
Doesn't give you a reason for the problem however and that's what you are
looking for.

I found the reason. It was because of named ranges I had defined on this
worksheet. The pointers to the MS support website were very helpful!
