Refresh an Auto Filter in an Excel Worksheet

This REST API refreshes an auto‑filter on an Excel worksheet.

What does Refresh do?

Calling the endpoint re‑applies the current filter criteria after the worksheet data has changed (e.g., rows added or removed). The operation does not modify the filter definition; it simply updates the view and returns a status response.
