Using the Excel FILTER Function to Create Dynamic Filters

[@socarquality1912]

this function works only in excel 360 or 2021. :(( in 2016 version does not support the filter function unfortunetly

[@BattleBladeWarrior]

Holy cow, this was amazing. Not only did you explain it really well, but I appreciate we had a full uncut video to go with it. A lot of other tutorials I've seen use static images, so its not always easy to see where they went or what they clicked on, but you gave us full view of the entire process.

[@mooserider1]

Just found this and immediately liked and subscribed. Perfect for what I needed, and this is one of the clearest and most professional Excel (or other) tutorials I have ever seen. Also bookmarked URL to keep it and your channel in my knowledge base. Thanks for posting!

[@shoumikislam9242]

Just found what I needed, no chitchats, straight action.

[@tannerzornes4872]

Not often does the first suggestion on Google provide me exactly what I'm looking for. This tutorial is explained perfectly. Well done!

[@TylerHall-b6j]

THANK YOU!!! THIS WORKED! How do I make it so i don't have to enter the entire search criteria exactly like it's listed? so from your example, I would like it to when I type "Fam" auto search for that without completing the word or words. Also how do I get it to say "None" when the search box is empty? Right now it gives me everything listed when empty cell. TYIA.

AND and OR vs "*" and "+". Think of 1= TRUE and 0 = FALSE. 1*1 = 1 (TRUE AND TRUE = TRUE). 1*0, 0*1 and 0*0 all = 0 (TRUE AND FALSE, FALSE AND TRUE, FALSE AND FALSE ... are all FALSE) 0+1, 1+0 both =1 .. (TRUE OR FALSE, FALSE OR TRUE both equal TRUE) 0+0 = 0 ... FALSE OR FALSE = FALSE 1+1 = 2 ... well ... 1+1 > 0, so TRUE OR TRUE is TRUE (if you want to argue about 1+1 = 10, in binary, .. so just looking at the last bit, 1+1 = 0 .. then you are using XOR... but for Excel, 1+1 is non zero works well for "OR")

Hi, I am confused by this function as lets say I have a table with 3 columns. From my understanding and your explanation, you first write out the index of data you are going to filter through. I.e. =Filter (A2:C21) but if I only want one value, it is valid to use (A2:A21) as the index and filter through (B2:B21)?

[@mar29803]

Great video! I've been looking for a way to filter with an external cell reference. This works perfectly. Thanks

[@MattaBinElba]

What if your category column contains multiple categories, like "Comedy, Drama"

[@clixx1431]

then when typing the function, replace family with "Comedy,Drama" (with the quotations)

[@injesusnameiplay6074]

the spread sheet doesn"t exist!

[@MahmoudShwky]

What if i want to remove the rating from the filter function without rearranging the table. So it would be name catagory, and year

[@sandeepnair8226]

Sir How would be the syntax, if one particular Genre falls under 2 or more categories, For eg. if Big Fish comes under Drama, Musical & comedy at a time...Thankyou

[@nischalrai157]

when we dont have any data in rating then it shows none, it there any option that i would like to keep rating formula but choose sometimes to unfilter it, still expect the data to show as normal (like previous), i want rating to keep optional

[@thefiveminutegamereview2117]

Really clearly explained function, thank you. Is it possible to take it up another level and filter by multiple items for each category? For example filter for both PG and R rated movies?😀

[@mythikry]

Yes, assuming you use L1 for the second rating. "+" acts as an "OR" statement in the formula. Use =FILTER(A2:D43,(B2:B43=H1)*(C2:C43=K1)+(C2:C43=L1),"None")

[@vasudevan-lg7lp]

But how can we do filter the values in the Second filter based on the Values selected in first Filter?

[@wcthrill]

How do you add data and have filter update automatically?

[@vasudevan-lg7lp]

Superb, I was trying to get this function for very long period, but I got now.

[@Nitens90]

thanks, finally a video that goes straight to the point, almost shocking

[@sekan9304]

why i have no filter in my excel ? can i add this function ?

[@SeemaSharma-lj3cf]

Very useful feature . Thanks for the tutorial.

[@AydeEstrada-j3b]

I get an error "FILTER has mismatched range sizes. Expected row count: 27682, column count: 1. Actual row count: 1, column count: 1" - any suggestions?

[@richardbelu8252]

Does this still work if you add new movies and you pass row 43. If not how would the formula change to allow adding for new movies to the list. Thank you

[@malikaamir6412]

Can we do this in excel 2013 bcz there is no FILTER function in it ?

[@hemmojito]

Yes but can you filter partial matches? For example movies with the letters "ate" in it? It should show for example "Kate and Leopold" but also "Darling I ate the children" (bear with me). So a dynamic filter that finds partial matches in a list of text entries. Is there a combination of functions that can accomplish that?

[@AnthonyChong-t7v]

I am sorry, I tried this, but somehow, it's not working in my 365, but the video's explanation is great, it just does not work for me :(

[@futuresuperstar4life]

I NEED HELP! PLZZ im a server and ive been working on an excel file to track my tips and sales percentages tip outs etc, it's very complex and im completely new to excel so it took me like two months. i'm trying to recreate an app that i was using but doesn't track enough details. in this app there are tabs on top for sorting the data yearly, monthly, weekly and biweekly and "all" and then at the bottom you can toggle between all of the data with arrows, between the 2 arrows there are 2 dates based off of the filter (the corresponding dates of the month, the week etc) but youre not limited to just "this month" and "last month", but you can continue to toggle between all months by clicking the arrow. i've tried with slicers and it kind of works but not as efficient or specific as i'd like it to be PLEASE TELL ME if you think that is at all possible on excel

[@thewitt2890]

Can I create a dropdown list that contains dropdown list? Your tutorials are the best

[@agimasoschandir]

You can create a dynamic drop down list based on another drop down list

[@BartoszXIV]

Can you do "select all" or multiple in one of the filters?

[@Thumper121234]

Great as usual. How can you use the column if you add more data. Can you just name the column header?

[@melindaperrotta4931]

Thank you for this video. I have a spreadsheet with multiple entries, but in which one column is only filled in upon completion of work. I would like to be able to filter for the negative or blank space in this column. i.e. See the uncompleted work. Is that possible?

[@MegaSahil05]

NICE , INSTAED OF WRITING OR SELECTING FULL ARRAY YOU CAN ALSO NAME THE TABLE LIKE MOVIES AND GET THAT

[@Ahmad-mq8xr]

Hi ! Do you think I can use FILTER inside Excel Table? I got SPILL error when try

[@mohddanial8478]

Thank god I found this video. Makes it much easier for my excel assignment :) - stuggling uni student :(

[@vickyfolonier112]

Is there any dynamic filtering option like this but that would keep the formatting of my data that's on the source table?

[@Haid-Studio]

Hi, Can you tell me where I can find advance Excel?

[@soethein9525]

Very Good and thanks you for your Video. Where can I download the Excel file?

[@92417]

Genius. Thankyou.👌

[@MoatazMohamady]

Thanks that was what I'm searching for, I just crate a new sheet for filtering ( I have one for data and another for filtering only)

[@teoxengineer]

Thank you for this tutorial. Can we use nested filter insede Filter function? =FILTER(FILTER(....,....,...),INCLUDE,IF_NOT_FOUND)

[@imVNUTZ]

Amazing video. Is there a way to also filter the data you pulled automatically? Like Alphabetize the list?

[@brunoyuske6267]

Anyway to write back using this function?

[@philipluisgonzaga8829]

Exactly what I need! Thanks

[@NJtoTX]

Mine only has FILTERXML.

[@gerardvaneggermond2067]

Hello sir, maybe you can help me I made code in Vba but it is long now I would like to make it smaller and maybe "loop" and "for loop" can help with that. Here part of the code: Application.ScreenUpdating = False If Sheets("Menu").Range("E2") = 1 Then Sheets("toplay1").Select Range("A1").Select ActiveCell.Formula2R1C1 = _ "=FILTER('S1'!R[1]C[1]:R[20]C[1],'S1'!R[1]C[1]:R[20]C[1]" "")" Range("B1").Select ActiveCell.Formula2R1C1 = _ "=FILTER('S1'!R[1]C[5]:R[20]C[5],'S1'!R[1]C[5]:R[20]C[5]" "")" The Range continues until "J1" you also notice that at "c[ ] each time 4 are added, that is because the search area moves 4 columns each time, if you can help me with this I will be able to continue with the rest I think, can you help me PLEASE What I forgot is that the number of rows being searched is 20.

[@michaelpapa7854]

What if I wanted to make the formula and/or?

[@roselerroldan2315]

I don't have filter formula.

[@BezUmiaru]

How to make a filter based on the text typed in a separate cell that filters the original table rather than creates a separate table with results? If possible, with functions not VB.

[@agimasoschandir]

As of now (2021) one cannot filter a table in place based on a cell value without VBA

[@ArcOfTheCovenant]

Can u use this between sheets? Like if I have a table that take up an entire sheet. Can I make a new sheet that filters the data sheet? I'm having issues with this big time!

[@ArcOfTheCovenant]

I call bulkshit! This does not work@!

[@abigailkarr9305]

LOVE this video!! What if you want movies to have multiple categories? If for example I wanted Back to the Future to fall under adventure and sci-fi; d I need to create a new column in my data set for each different category, or could I make a comma separated list for the categories?

Hi, Can you please reply me with the formula for "pulling the data from 3 workbooks to 1 workbook and want a functionality where the column headers should not be dependent on column no. such as A1,C1 which means data can be fetched using the column header name". Also, I want 1 more feature while fetching the data to new one that I am able to view the full details when I type particular employee ID on the table . It is urgent, so please answer with formula or give me some reference. Thank you

[@agimasoschandir]

You did not mention how much you would pay for such urgency
