Hi there, could someone help me resolve an issue with the =FILTER function. (Apologies, i cannot upload the spreadsheet as I am working within my clients environment).
I have a large data sheet (Table1) with approx. 80k rows and I use normal column filters to break this down to the specific range of data that I want to analyse.
On another sheet I use the Excel Filter Function formula below, that will look at the "Keyword" that I've entered in cell A3 and this should return the data that meets this criteria from the FILTERED sheet however it actually brings back ALL the data that meets the Keyword. (So it's actually bringing back the hidden rows as well). From the formula below, can anyone see where I am going wrong
I'm using the CHOOSE function to only bring back certain Columns
=FILTER(CHOOSE({1,2,3,4},Table1[Document],Table1[UserName],Table1[Date],Table1[Time]),Table1[Owner]=A3)

Thanks as always
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.

You're not, the formula is doing exactly what it's meant to do.
If you only want the visible I would suggest using a helper column with
Excel Formula:
=subtotal(103,Table1[Document])
and then ad an extra criteria to your filter which looks at the helper & filters out 0s
