Sample Usage

FILTER(A2:B26, A2:A26 > 5, D2:D26 < 10)

FILTER(A2:C5, {TRUE; TRUE; FALSE; TRUE})

FILTER(A2:B10, NOT(ISBLANK(A2:A10)))

Syntax

FILTER(range, condition1, [condition2, ...])

  • range - The data to be filtered.

  • condition1 - A column or row containing true or false values corresponding to the first column or row of range, or an array formula evaluating to true or false.

  • condition2 ... - [ OPTIONAL ] - Additional rows or columns containing boolean values TRUE or FALSE indicating whether the corresponding row or column in range should pass through FILTER. Can also contain array formula expressions which evaluate to such rows or columns. All conditions must be of the same type (row or column). Mixing row conditions and column conditions is not permitted.

    • condition arguments must have exactly the same length as range.

Notes

  • FILTER can only be used to filter rows or columns at one time. In order to filter both rows and columns, use the return value of one FILTER function as range in another.

  • If FILTER finds no values which satisfy the provided conditions, #N/A will be returned.
