Mark,

I tested that briefly in Excel. Excel doen't seem to make difference in v
blank cells and cels containing one or more spaces. I had blank cells, cells with one space, and 
cells with 2 spaces. Only one selection came up, and it selected all 3 variations.

I also tested prepending spaces to values, and adding trailing spaces, and they are ignored to 
('aaa' considered the same as ' aaa' ands 'aaa '.
I assume the cell values are left and right trimmed before being considered for filtering.

Rob.

Ah yes, I didn't mention that bit on my addition to #46062. A workaround for that case is:
- Select "Standard Filter..." rather than any tick boxes
- Set the "Field name" to "- none -"
- Click "OK"

I notice you've mentioned on #46062 that Excel includes a "(blanks)" option. That's the kind of 
thing I was thinking, but not sure how to avoid confusion with a filter for cells literally 
containing "(blanks)". How does Excel handle that? Do you get two seemingly identical entries - 
one to filter for blank cells and one for cells containing the string "(blanks)" - or is the one 
for blank cells unambiguously different in some way?

Mark.

The same inconsistency also makes that if one filter on the only one value available by 
filtering on 'Not empty', and subsequently deletes the value fro the visible rows, it is 
impossible to switch off the selection (since 'All' doesn't work as being really all).

I opened [Bug 81577] for this.
