FILTER Formula in Excel

Note
Definition

The FILTER function in Excel is designed to filter a range of data based on specified criteria and return the matching values. This function is highly useful for data analysis, reporting, and data management tasks.

You have to provide a range you want to filter. The next parameter, as specified above, is a boolean array, but where can we find it? A boolean array is simply a range of True or False values. You can take any range and turn it into a boolean array with an array formula.

What you’re doing here is applying a condition to a range of values using operators like >, <, or =. For example, suppose you have a list of product names in column A and their sales figures in column B. You want to filter out only the products with sales greater than 250.

First, select column A (product names). Then, create a boolean array to identify which products meet the condition. You can do this separately or integrate it directly into your formula.

Note
Note

If no products have a count greater than the specified threshold, you will get a #CALC! error. To prevent this, you can specify a third parameter in the formula that will be displayed if there is no match.
