However, this changes the original data by hiding rows. Using the FILTER function, you can reproduce a filtered version of the original data. This allows you and your team to work with different filtered versions of the data without affecting others or creating isolated copies of the data. You can also combine the FILTER function with others, such as SUM or AVERAGE, to operate directly on the filtered data. To add up values that meet a single condition, you can also use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheetgo.com\/blog\/excel-functions\/sumif-excel\/\">SUMIF function in Excel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In this guide, you will learn how to use Microsoft Excel\u2019s FILTER function. First, you will review the syntax and learn how to match values by exact text, numerical values, and dates. Second, you will learn how to filter arrays by multiple conditions using FILTER with the OR (+) and AND (*) symbols. Finally, you have examples of how to use FILTER with functions like UNIQUE and SORT.<\/p>\n<p>You will also learn about an alternative solution that allows you to transfer filtered data between Excel workbooks without having to write any formulas. With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheetgo.com\/automations\/\">Sheetgo<\/a>, an AI-powered data automation platform, you can connect your files and choose the filters you want to apply with just a few clicks.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=&#8221;filter-function-syntax&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>FILTER function syntax<\/h2>\n<p>Excel&#8217;s FILTER function has two required parameters and one optional parameter.

You can specify the value to return if the filter returns nothing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The screenshots in this guide use a semicolon between arguments, which is the list separator in some regional settings. If your Excel uses commas, as in the syntax above, type a comma instead.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=&#8221;how-to-use-filter-function-in-excel&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>How to use FILTER function in Excel?<\/h2>\n<p>Using the FILTER function in Excel is easy: just select the array and the criteria you want to use to filter the values. Optionally, you can specify what the function should return if the filter finds nothing to return. Below, you have step-by-step instructions on how to filter by text, numerical value, and by date. In the next section, you will learn how to use it with multiple criteria or conditions and how to combine it with other functions.<\/p>\n<h3>FILTER by text<\/h3>\n<p>Follow the steps below to get records matching an exact text value in one of the columns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> In an empty cell, type the FILTER function and select the array you want to filter as the first parameter.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/excel-filter-function-select-array.webp&#8221; alt=&#8221;Excel FILTER function \u2014 =FILTER(A2:H1001; typed in cell J2 next to the sales table&#8221; title_text=&#8221;=FILTER(A2:H1001; typed in cell J2 next to the sales table&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> Add a semicolon followed by the condition.

You can reproduce filtered versions of your array without affecting the original data. Since it remains linked, the filtered array will be updated with changes to the original as soon as the formula refreshes. You can use multiple conditions within the same formula and apply them to the same column or different ones. Additionally, you can combine FILTER with other functions to operate on or manipulate the results.<\/p>\n<p>You now know how to use Excel\u2019s FILTER function to filter records based on exact text matches, numerical comparisons, and dates. You also know how to combine multiple conditions by using the AND (*) and OR (+) symbols. Finally, you know how to combine FILTER with UNIQUE to get only unique records matching your criteria and how to combine it with SORT to get a filtered and sorted version of the array.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not a fan of long and complex formulas, you also know there&#8217;s a great alternative: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheetgo.com\/automations\/\">Sheetgo<\/a>, an AI-powered data automation platform.
