Filter in multiple areas

[kalda]

Hello to all,

Im strugling to solve this for a week now. I would like to create filter something like: =FILTER(I4:I97,(J23:J40="PN")+(J42:J59="PN")+(J61:J78="N")+(J80:J97="N"),"") but always with error. This is just an example, I already tryed multiple variants of this, but still with some error in the end. Sofar I figured out, that this function is not supported in Excel like this (criteria in multiple areas), therefore Im asking here for help. Do you know some workaround? Maybe user defined function will help, but I know nothing about VBA.
And sorry for my English, Im not native speaker.

Thank you all.

Welcome to the Board!

I think you need to filter each section separately, but you should be able to combine them all into one list by using the VSTACK function, i.e.

=VSTACK(FILTER(...),FILTER(...),FILTER(...),FILTER(...))

See: VSTACK Function

If that is not what you are looking for, then I probably do not understand your question, in which case it would be helpful to post what your data looks like and expected results.
MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data that will allow us to copy/paste it to our Excel spreadsheets, so we can work with the same copy of data that you are. Instructions on using this tool can be found here: XL2BB Add-in

Note that there is also a "Test Here” forum on this board. This is a place where you can test using this tool (or any other posting techniques that you want to test) before trying to use those tools in your actual posts.

Exactly what I needed -- VSTACK. Learned something new today, so THANKS!
