Solution 1

If you are talking about the AutoFilter of Excel application then I think there are two options.

Insert a blank row above Row 3. Then click in a cell on or below Row No. 3 and apply AutoFilter from the Data menu.
Select the Range from Row3 to include all the Rows and Columns to be filtered and then apply AutoFilter from the Data menu.

Solution 2

If header row is a single row (not merged rows), select all columns in this row and than add a filter.
