Hi, It's really a good learning! Just need one query resolution, Can we use both include & exclude(Not(is number(value))) criteria. Eagerly Waiting for your response on my query.
THANK YOU! After spending AGES trying to use the built in filters to do what I wanted, my brain finally kicked into gear and thought "didn't Leila do a video on this?". If I had only thought of you first, I would have saved loads of time. Boomer alert -getting old sucks.
Hi Leila, I need some help! I have searched through your videos but cannot find the solution for where there are unique values in each column. ie. Each column contains data for a specific month vertically. The vertical data local to that month contains business names and customer names. I want a function to only limit the results displayed to the chosen month. ie. return specific columns (not rows). Every video I've seen on the filter function as well as index/match functions thus far have only been solutions where each column is a singular type of identifier and the results work for rows. Does a solution exist that can produce columns as a result?
As I understand what you're writing, Row 1 is a Header. Column A is January, Column B is February. etc. ect. Rows 2:nn is data. You want to only display a particular month's data (presumably on another worksheet. Won't choosecols work?.@@G-Man01
@@G-Man01You could combine the Transpose function perhaps in your formula. So before applying the filter, transpose the data, so that the column entries become row entries, and then the Filter function should work as per your requirement.
Your videos have freed upto six hours of work time for me on a daily basis. So now I pretend to be working on those completed tasks during my new found down time. Many thanks for adding hours to my day!
Ah, you grow your hours to fit expectation, not shrink your hours to reflect ability. Those shaking their head forget your boss would only grow your work to match your ability with no increase in pay.
Quite a helpful video. The way you construct your videos with explanatory graphics, clear slow audio, overall managed pace & a moderate video length makes for swift learning of MS Excel. Thank you kindly.
I'm doing some other tutorials where they don't teach by making mistakes. I love how you're teaching by making mistakes! It helps align our thinking and understanding with yours.
This is by far the best excel video ever. Brilliant fucntion and super explained. You can also reorder your coloms in a different order when you as you do as in the example 2;4, you can also 2;4;3 the the coloms will be displayed in that order in the filter function.
I used your Excel videos to give training in my office and it was grand success. Thanks a ton!!❤ Except this particular use case covered in this video...! I also covered a similar case.
Hahaha, just * and +......, and I was trying 100 methods for multiple filtering in 1 line. You are the best teacher in Excel. Thanks a lot. This really helps a lot with all my database sheets.
You re soooo good in explaining both the usage of this function AND also the logic (Boolean logic to be precise) behind it. Many, many thanks for this excellent upload.
This is a better way to handle AND or OR functions. I had so many problems in the past with those 2 commands that this seems much easier. Thanks for pointing this out Leila!
Thanks a ton. I never used Filter and Index formula before, but thanks to your tutorial, I am now able to use both to create a Income Statement where for any drop down product, the whole statement changes.
So the need for the capability to do this appeared to me today about 5h ago at work. Just got home and saw you uploaded this 3h ago. Couldnt have timed it better.
Excellent details and explanations. Had an issue trying to filter some data and never got the exact result needed but this just made my day. Thank you!
Wonderfull! I used the Index funcition to select the collumns I wnanted exclude for the result. This command "choose" is much more easier to use. Really excell is turning easy.
Thank you so much Leila. I always learn something new from your videos. Great things about your videos is you always dive deeper into the function. Since I started using FILTER function it totally changed my efficiency. ❤
Hammer Video! Genau das habe ich diese Woche gesucht! Ich bin genau auf diese Lösung gekommen. Hier habe ich aber noch eine Lösung gesehen, auf die ich nicht gekommen bin: Choosecols! Super! Danke! 🙏
I love your videos Leila. They're so easy to understand and also the way you speak, you got a cool diction. My native language is spanish but I understand every word you say!
Thank You for this video. You have been very helpful. I have been looking for a filter function for Excel. I'm looking forward to trying this out for myself.
Thanks a lot Leila, I spent my afternoon trying to figure out how to return non adjacent columns with Filter(), and choosecols() was the answer. Many thanks
Wow... I've seen a bunch of formulas use the multiplication thing {true,false,etc...} before but never understood why. Thank you for that VERY clear, simple explanation! SUBSCRIBED!!!
Top notch techniques for, essentially, doing multi-criteria lookups with just one formula. I have a table of data where Col A and B define a unique row and I need to find Col C. This becomes: Choosecols(Filter((theTable, theTable[Col A]= X) * (theTable[Col B]= Y), "NF"),3). Maybe this needs to be added to an IFError Function in case there are no matches. In any case, great stuff. Many thanks. I have been a subscriber for quite awhile and really appreciate all the great videos you produce.
You are just amazing !!! The way you presents and scenarios discussing are not just a mere exhibition of your talents rather an excellent way to making audience enthusiastic and helping them to think independently and develop accordingly...!!! HATS OFF 🤩🤩
Watching ur video is always a charm!! Got inspired and started my channel on easy excel learnings also but knowledge you have is wonderful and inspiring.
Really enjoyed this, I like the fact you stress bracketing, it's so easy to slip up using say sumproduct with multiple and / or criteria, re bring back certain columns, you can also use another filter; filter ( filter range, { 1,0,1,1} ) , where 1 = column to return 0 = ignore. but you can't reorder with this, but
Holy Sheet! - Super video just like the rest of yours. Have been using "AND" criteria logic frequently since seeing this video and understood "OR" as well. Had a bit of an epiphany today. "AND" and "OR"s can be nested as needed. Today I needed =IF((A1="X")+((A1="Y")*(B1="Z")),TRUE,FALSE). Worked like a charm! I'm sure there is a limit to the amount of nesting you can do, but this is a game changer. Thaks so much for these videos!
Loads of thanks for this very very valuable insight on the filter function, I was struggling so hard to get the multiple selections work and you just made me understand how filter works. Thanks thanks thanks.......
Great info. as always. Thanks for showing an actual "mistake". For me, that hits the part of my brain that really integrates all the elements of the formula and makes me think "aha".
Your videos are AMAZING! I'm finally able to make my Excel sheets work for me and not do my head in. Thank you so much!! Your videos are a game-changer!!
As always, @leilagharani pulls through. I restructured a table I use pulling it apart to simplify data entry. I didn't know how I'd tie them together, but I knew I could count on Ms Gharani on showing me how.
This tutorial is fantastic for understanding the FILTER function! I've covered similar Excel functions on my channel, and I love seeing how different approaches can solve similar problems. Keep up the great work!
Excellent explanation! Although wordier, I do favor the OR and AND functions … because I’ve worked with them longer. I will definitely give the type coercion a try.
Great job on leveraging the new Filter Functions. Besides an innate interest it's a bit entertaining to see how much more you can leverage the functions!

I built a dashboard using all of this in the past week. Choose columns is a nice add! Thanks for all you do.
Wow, your logical reasoning is amazing. How you retain all this in your head astounds me.
I have watched so many videos on building filters, but this is crystal clear, thank you. I finally get it!
Excellent and helpful LOL at Gillian Andersen.
😊
This was a neat, clean, and entirely useful tutorial on a common thing one does in SQL.
You've saved me time with this. Thank you.

Hello teacher, I am from India. The way you understand in all your videos is very simple.
Because of you, I got the job of MIS manager of a company. You are very dear, I respect your heart.🙏
Wow, that's great. Congratulations!
So the need for the capability to do this appeared to me today about 5h ago at work. Just got home and saw you uploaded this 3h ago. Couldnt have timed it better.
Glad we got the timing right 😁
Great reminder tip at the end 08:55. (OR belong together), then (AND).
As usual, the Excel advice was top notch but the Columbo clip put it over the top! 🤓
😂
Back to see this one again. Such a powerful tool - I'm slowly wiping out pivot tables using this approach. So much more dynamic.
Excellent details and explanations. Had an issue trying to filter some data and never got the exact result needed but this just made my day. Thank you!

U can use xmatch to create the trues/falses when searching for multiple values in the first column and feed xmatch result to filter.
Wow!! Thanks a lot mam for such a nice way to teach us. You are really a very good instructor. Keep working like this. You are the best.
