That is exactly what I did and I realized that the discussion there lacks a
proper understanding of the top-down approach of Autofilter. It is like dealing
with multi-dimensional conditional probabilities - if that helps. 

It is interesting to see, that the reporting comment of bug 117276 already
mentions the problem: it says in step 3: Wert=7000,9000 are not shown and not
selectable and after removing Wert=8000 and adding Tesla, suddenly Wert=7000
(and 9000 by the way) are in the selection list. There is no row in this
dataset for Tesla with Wert=7000,9000 so why should adding Tesla allow for such
a selection?

If you think the current behavior is questionable, why don't you stay
professional and explain the strategy Autofilter is currently adhering to and
explain why my comment doesn't hold instead of being vage as you did? Many
thanks!
