Thank you Excel Bytes!!! I spent many hours trying to solve for a count unique entries within a vstack and after many, many videos I was finally able to resolve. =COUNTA(UNIQUE(FILTER(VSTACK(LocalAccts[Rep],RegionAccts[Rep]),VSTACK(LocalAccts[Div],RegionAccts[Div])="Div1,"")))

[@ExcelBytes]

I'm glad you were able to figure it out!

[@notesfromleisa-land]

Thank you for this helpful video. I found it in a search when I was using Vstack in a filtrered table and got undesirable results. This vid and you saved the day!

[@ExcelBytes]

I'm glad to hear that you found this useful!

I have used FILTER extensively since it first became available. Depending on the setup I have used it sometimes in the array argument of FILTER, other times in the "to include" FILTER argumentand yet on other occasions as a FILTER wrap as you did here. CHOOSECOLS has also replaced the previously used FILTER(FILTER) constructon as well as the FILTER(Array,{1 0,0,1,0 1} type of formulation. All 3 are great functions!!

This is so cool.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.

[@laurenpoussardcreative]

this was just what I was looking for. Is there a way to carry over the formatting of those cells by any chance?

[@ExcelBytes]

Sorry, none of these functions has an option to include formatting

Thanks 😊

Thanks Excel Bites. This is the exact requirement for me, but i have only 2021 version in my laptop. What is the alternate formula for Excel 2021 for the same requirement? Please let me know

[@ExcelBytes]

You can't do it all without 365, but this tutorial might help: ua-cam.com/video/bcXBQxp0Vyk/v-deo.html

[@charlielang1692]

Thank you for this example; however, I have a question. Suppose that one of the columns that you want was the Date column. It is not coming back formatted as a Date. How would you do this and get the Date column formatted properly?

[@ExcelBytes]

Sorry, Excel functions only return data, not formatting. Formatting is a function of the destination cells, so you will need to format those after running the FILTER function.

Can use Choosecols by Microsoft office Excel 2019?
I dont get CHOOSECOLS in Excel 2019
This only for Excel 365?

[@ExcelBytes]

It's only available in Microsoft 365 or the web version.

If there are two sales tables in different cores I want to use a filter function to search for the employee's name in the two tables . many thanx

[@ExcelBytes]

Only way I could think of is if you have Microsoft 365, you can use the VSTACK function. Here is a formula example: =VSTACK(FILTER(Table1,Table1[Name]="Tom"),FILTER(Table2,Table2[Name]="Tom"))

[@hanyfahmy7021]

@@ExcelBytes I did it but the formula not responds. Why.many thanx
