I have this table where I'm trying to filter all non closed projects numbers.
So, I use a filter keeping only the "Current status" I want:
Active
Clarification
On Hold
To initiate
Closing

Despite this, there is still 1 CLOSED that appears

I tried another way having a filter returning all "Current status" except "CLOSED" and yet the same project appears despite being obviously CLOSED.
The data comes from a CSV file generated by another system, so I'm fairly confident that there are no typos in Current status

Dynamic array formulas.


it works for other "CLOSED" (the original database has more than 2500 data), all return correctly except for PEP1010547R

You issue is not with the filter function except but with your XLookup in the next column.
The filter function is returning the "Closing" line for "PEP1010547R" but the XLookup is returning the status of the 1st occurence of "PEP1010547R" which says closed.

Why don't you just get the filter function to return both columns in one go ?
Rich (BB code):
=FILTER(Database,(Database[Current Status]="Active")+(Database[Current Status]="Clarification")+(Database[Current Status]="On Hold")+(Database[Current Status]="To intiate")+(Database[Current Status]="Closing"))
