If that is the issue – which is barely mentioned, if at all – then this report
does not focus on that aspect of importing data. Instead, it focuses on
something completely different (i.e. autofilter) which is currently working
correctly.

If that is the issue, then please open a new report aiming at that. The
autofilter behavior can be considered a possible case to perhaps modify the
behavior of importing from sources, but by itself the autofilter feature is
working correctly.

Additionally, perhaps you can consider using a Standard filter (not from
AutoFilter but from its own menu entry). This is unrelated, just a possible way
of perhaps overcoming whichever problem you are currently experiencing.
