You have to mention that The FILTER function is only available in Excel for Microsoft 365 and Excel 2021

[@PKAnExcelExpert]

Thank you for pointing that out! You are absolutely correct, and I regret missing that vital piece of information in my video tutorial. The FILTER function is indeed only available in Excel for Microsoft 365 and Excel 2021. I appreciate your keen observation, and I'll make sure to include this essential detail in future content. Thanks again for bringing this to my attention!

Nice! No more need for filters.

[@PKAnExcelExpert]

Thanks

[@jackcurl2005]

Great explanation, clearly demonstrated.
In general, perhaps use IFS or SWITCH(✔) rather than nested IF statements-it's cleaner, easier to debug, easier to read, and certainly easier to program. Both functions became available with Office 2016. If you have FILTER, you have these functions (and a slew of other niftiness).
An example for those who might wondering:
SWITCH($A$1,1,Search_Left,2,Search_Right,3,Search_Anywhere,"No results")
The test/result for the value 3 is included to handle invalid data. It's better to specify than to default. Since A1 is an openly editable cell, any value could appear there. We need to take that into account. Never trust users (even oneself) to always do it right. As the saying goes, An idiot-proof system just hasn't been introduced to the correct idiot yet.

[@TampaRob84]

FYI, for the helper cells in row 1, custom format of ;;; makes the text invisible rather than white so it won't display if the cell color is changed

[@theexposer9483]

Very well balanced video in terms of content, speed of delivery, movement of screens and clarity of subject. Take my complement for the good work. This is my first video from your channel. A suggestion which would increase your viewership , since it would help many users for their work. That is , if you can create an equivalent sheet in Google sheet for all your work and place grouped together with excel version. I don’t know your expertise level on Google sheets because both these applications run on different platform and underlying language. If you give it a try it would be wonderful gift to your viewers. God bless you.

[@PKAnExcelExpert]

Thanks for your valuable feedback. I will definitely try to create.

[@somenmaji7078]

true, this way less complicated. I tried making a same type, which tells where a name falls in a number of sheets in the same workbook. I did that using table and DGET() function.The one you made is very well balanced and very less complected.

[@rajkumararumugam7449]

Hi Pk. Could you pls post video for power bi to create a parameter in report page to pass the date value. Instead of filter the value or data it should highlight

Great work. I've learned a new way of searching data. I've created a worksheet same as you did in excel 2021. All named ranges are working well except the last one "Search_Data". When I put this in first cell below "Name", it does not work as the formula itself does. Rest of the cells do not fill automatically. It fetches the first Name and that's it. I've downloaded the practice file. Facing the same issue there too. Any idea why it's not working?

Great video, I learned a lot! and I created my wone sheet thanks a lot.

2)if i type some name in search tab and select anywhere option only that data should reflect what will be the solution pls help me with this?

[@soniccheese01]

Nice one.
Here is another example formula that uses a Table called MyData and searching a column called Company: =SWITCH(A2,1,FILTER(MyData,LEFT(MyData[COMPANY],LEN(SearchText))=SearchText),2,FILTER(MyData,RIGHT(MyData[COMPANY],LEN(SearchText))=SearchText),3,FILTER(MyData,ISNUMBER(SEARCH(SearchText,MyData[COMPANY]))))
No need to use additional Range Names, or particularly the INDIRECT function
Any thoughts?

[@PKAnExcelExpert]

Certainly! Your comment is insightful and adds valuable information to the discussion. I appreciate you sharing this alternative method using the SWITCH function and Table. It's always great to see different approaches to a problem. Thanks for contributing to our community!
