Data filter in Excel 2013 disappears when Excel is reopened

I recently upgraded from Office 2010 to Office 2013.  Unlike the previous versions of Excel, the data filter in Excel 2013 disappears.  Save the Excel with filters applied, close and reopen the file, filter is not retained.  Even the filter mark is not to be seen.  Not sure if its a bug, but there are other tiny such bugs were encountered in 2013 Excel.

Hi,

Based on my test, Data filter does not lost when we re-open the file in Excel 2013. Thus, I think it is not a bug. Thus, please provide us more information to assist you better.

  • Did this issue occur with the previous file that created with Office 2010?
  • Have you tried to re-create a new file to test?

If this issue occur only with the previous file that created with Office 2010, this issue might be caused by the file compatibility, pleases use compatibility checker to update the files:

If this issue occur with all files even with a new file, please try to repair Office 2013.

Hope it's helpful.

Thanks

Not able to reproduce this issue anymore neither with 2013 fresh file as #GeorgeZhao indicated nor with 2010 file.  Possibly there was an auto update that came with corrections :).
