FILTER rows by a condition
Pull the rows that match a condition into their own list with one FILTER formula, and fix a list that can't spill.
In this lesson
- The condition covers the same rows as the array:
=FILTER(A2:B31,C2:C31="Hawks"). - The result spills from one cell.
- No match gives #CALC!. Add the third argument:
=FILTER(A2:B31,C2:C31="Falcons","None").
