    That's always been a frustration. Your "trick" with the OR function is a great alternative!!

    Thanks Mike, As I learned from you many years ago another possible option is Advanced filter.

    Crtl-Enter keeps younin the same cell instead of moving you down one row by default.
    Crtl-Shift-Enter is used tor old school array formulas....But we don't talk about these much anymore.

    Is there a reason to not use =OR() in the =FILTER() function, instead of the addition logic?

    • @excelisfun
      @excelisfun  7 місяців тому +1

      Yes. The OR function is a scalar function. OR can only deliver a single answer. The include argument in the FILTER function needs an array of trues and false is that is the same size as the table. It is filtering. So OR Will never work because it can always only give a single answer.

    Hi Mike
    Many thanks for this. But why did you do + at ua-cam.com/video/mT0Er97zWHM/v-deo.html ? This is a spilled array formula, so a simple will suffice?

    • @mattschoular8844
      @mattschoular8844 7 місяців тому +1

      Crtl-Enter keeps you in the same cell instead of moving you down a row by default.
      Crtl-Shift-Enter is used for old school Array formulas, but we don't talk about these very much anymore.

    • @excelisfun
      @excelisfun  7 місяців тому +1

      The benefit of Ctrl + Enter is when you are entering something and you immediately want to do something to the cell like format or copy. Since if you hit Enter your cursor would go down and they you would have to click back up to accomplish the "something". In this exact formula I was not going to immediately to something to the cell so I did not need Ctrl + Enter. It is my habit so often because I anticipate that something will be wrong with formula and I will need to edit the formula in that cell. But in this case it adds no benefit.

    • @iankr

      Ah, I see! I have that "cursor moves down one cell on hitting Enter" default turned off in my Excel setup, as it annoys me!

      Make your own data sets with Excel Formulas. I have a bunch of videos:
      ua-cam.com/video/V4JciRG3ZqY/v-deo.html
      ua-cam.com/video/MUIzMMTAHUE/v-deo.html
      Or go onto some of my other classes. Maybe the Advanced or Data Analysis classes. My home page lists some of my many classes:
