Hi All!

I have tried to search for a solution, but I'm not able to figure out what I'm doing incorrectly with this formula. I can get it to work with one criterion but when I try to use two criteria, it doesn't work...

Heres a small snippet of my table "AuditCriteria"
1704905907282.png

Q3 = "Jan"
Q4 = "New Hire"
Excel Formula:
=FILTER(AuditCriteria[[Jan]:[Dec]],AuditCriteria[[#Headers],[Jan]:[Dec]]=Q3)
Excel Formula:
=FILTER(AuditCriteria[[Jan]:[Dec]],AuditCriteria[Type]=Q4)
this one will not work:(
Excel Formula:
=FILTER(AuditCriteria[[Jan]:[Dec]],(AuditCriteria[[#Headers],[Jan]:[Dec]]="Jan")*(AuditCriteria[Type]="New Hire"))

I'm getting a #VALUE error... When I highlight and hove over each section of the code, the small pop-ups are giving me the correct values and/or true/false statements...but I cannot get it to give me the correct information.

Any support would be greatly appreciated!
 

Excel Facts

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
You need to do a double filter
Excel Formula:
=filter(FILTER(AuditCriteria[[Jan]:[Dec]],AuditCriteria[[#Headers],[Jan]:[Dec]]="Jan"),AuditCriteria[Type]="New Hire")
