Excel FILTER Function | Excel One Minute Functions Explained

The FILTER function in Excel allows you to filter a range of data based on the criteria you define. The FILTER function is a dynamic array function. The FILTER function has three arguments, but only two are required.

Syntax
=FILTER(array,include,[if_empty])

Example
=FILTER(A5:D20,C5:C20=H2,"")

Argument Description
****************
array - The array, or range to filter REQUIRED
include - A Boolean array whose height or width is the same as the array REQUIRED
[if_empty] - The value to return if all values in the included array are empty (filter returns nothing) - Optional

The FILTER function will return an array, which will spill if it's the final result of a formula. This means that Excel will dynamically create the appropriately sized array range when you press ENTER. If your supporting data is in an Excel table, then the array will automatically resize as you add or remove data from your array range if you're using structured references. For more details, see this article on spilled array behavior.

[tutsecret]

How do I do with multiple criteria: Show all Opened Date Column that is Today()-90 and Final Class Column is blank(I wrote the text as blank on each cell) or Dismissed Case Column is Null or No. The sheet has 4k rows. Thank you for your help.

Wrap the filter function in a transpose function, and the SPILL runs across columns instead of across rows. Use wherever columns to the right are empty, and no SPILL will occur.
