Learn how to master the FILTER formula in Excel. When used correctly, the filter function is one of the most powerful functions in excel. So let me show you how to use it using 4 examples from easy to hard, plus one bonus example at the end you might find surprising! First we'll go over a simple filter and compare it with the filter too. Then, we'll filter with more than one criteria with AND or OR conditions. Thirdly, we'll use the VSTACK and CHOOSECOLS formulas to add dynamic headers. Forth, we'll use an advanced filter to find the average if a certain condition is true. Finally, we'll create an approximate search with the ISBLANK, SEARCH, and FILTER functions.

Great video!

[@Bottob393]

Great video 👍🏾

[@basketballer852]

Love the videos as always Kenji! Some other approaches I wanted to share: for 3 you could also use the drop function to remove the first column and for 4 you could use averageifs or sumifs although that would no longer be in a filter video 😅

[@yerocastrocontabilidad]

awasome, thanks

[@christybrown2088]

Thanks Kenji

[@carolinaforbes5020]

thank you so much for sharing your knowledge..i'm amazed!btw,i'm just confused why sometimes there are 2 or 3 close parenthesis?but most of the times it's just 1 close parenthesis at the end of the formula. please enlighten me...thanks in advance!

[@ZyadKhalid-hf2vu]

You are Amazing! THanks!

[@KenjiExplains]

Happy to help!

[@leenverkade]

Awesome stuff! Im trying to get the choosecols to work on the last example. Not getting it quite right.

[@rickyboisseau9691]

Thank you for such a detailed and clear tutorial. I have my Master data on a secondary worksheet and am searching on my main worksheet. my question is, am I able to delete from the results or connect a button in some way to Identify where the singular result is coming from on my secondary sheet to delete that entire row ???

[@bankimdas9517]

Awesome video.. Thanks 🙏

[@KenjiExplains]

Glad you liked it!

Thanks!

[@KenjiExplains]

Thank you for your support! 🙏

[@DanielaAguilera-ip3xv]

Hi Kenji, Do you know how to do a filter similar to the choosecol, but that it will (group or ungroup/hide or unhide) the columns you don't want to see?

[@user-rr5dy9hk2k]

Could you please provide guidance on how to edit data within Excel filtered results? I'm interested in learning methods to manipulate and update data while working with filtered views in Excel. Any assistance or instructions you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[@athruncagallifan]

Interesting!

[@KenjiExplains]

Glad you think so!

Sir, i am from Bangladeshi, i have fans for you. I need a complete data analytics vedio step by step, thanks

[@mauv]

I dont have some features/functions in my excel. eg.choosecols, vstack. I have updated my excel 2021 to the latest version yet dont have these features. Are they exclusive to a different excel version?

[@MrPathak001]

are slicers also considered as filters?

[@shiva20021]

Is there alternative to CHOOSECOLS?? When using this function is a large set of data, and trying to get data from only few columns, counting cols no is difficult

[@xllearner]

Is it possible to filter for two countries in the same column? I could not seem to get it to work.

[@fei7954]

Yes, noramlise to Country A & B in that column, use filter to filter off using the same key word country A & B

[@xllearner]

@@fei7954 Thank you for the explanation.

[@abzino]

Very good, but you could have used wildcards instead of SEARCH, and selected each column followed by a comma instead of CHOOSECOLS.

[@KenjiExplains]

Thanks! Have you tried to wildcard? It doesn't work in this situation unfortunately

[@kemad86x]

Excellent video as always Kenji! I still have a tendency to format as table and just do pivotting, so this was great for me :)
As someone working in finance though, I have to admit, it sticks out when your number formatting in the the input is good, but the output is bad :D
Devil is in the details right?

[@KenjiExplains]

Haha that's a great point! Thank you for sharing your thoughts :)

[@MahbubLaskar-gv5bt]

How can I find a specific word in column then filter it, please

[@nizarimi]

Done subscribe.

[@scotthunter7140]

Love your videos, great to learn from. You just go too fast. 😂

[@arindambhattacharya7848]

I didn’t quite follow the 2nd one when you say you put a “+” sign for or. It is only working for the industry but United States 🇺🇸 remains static

[@willzinner8813]

for the last one does the search with the wildcard * work?

[@excelgazialimuhiddinhacibekir]

I was gonna try exactly that. Something like ::
*=FILTER( **_data.range_** , **_company.name.range_** = "*family*" , "No match found!")*

[@excelgazialimuhiddinhacibekir]

I tried it. NOPE, IT DOESN'T WORK! 😞

[@Waheed1736]

Choosecols is not available in my excel

[@RichardJones73]

Use tables

[@steventaylor3411]

Why not convert range to table and reference table columns? It is dynamic and adjusts as you add or remove columns. I see so many Excel tutorial videos where the array is selected and it drives me crazy 🤪

[@KenjiExplains]

Its because most people aren't familiar with tables so if you're already teaching them something new (the fitler function) then teaching them 2 new things at once can be even more confusing

[@steventaylor3411]

@@KenjiExplains valid point 🤔

[@michaelomosebi6374]

I still think it's better if formatted as table too. On the long run the learners will appreciate more

[@UtkarshKumar-mp2ls]

Like always😂

[@KenjiExplains]

Haha thank you for watching always :)

[@UtkarshKumar-mp2ls]

@KenjiExplains "Your uploading time and my RUclips scrolling always seem to match somehow."

[@SolarasNaracott]

Why does the thumbnail say to stop using the filter function when this entire video is about using the filter function?

[@KenjiExplains]

*Filter tool not filter function. I think you misread that
