Filter, sorted, long hstack() formula

[henryg]

I was feeling quite pleased with myself having replaced a PQ table with a long hstack formula (13 arrays, some manipulated à la PQ) residing in the one cell; then sorted on the resulting column 2. So far so good, but the result rows contain some nil values which I need to filter out based on, say, array 5. I tried FILTER() but keep messing up.

The rational/benefit is/was to avoid having to refresh the data, as I forgot recently and other calculations based on it were effected. As a temporary solution I have added filter boxes to the columns.

Help appreciated.

It would help if you could post some sample data along with the formula.

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.

I've decided to keep it simple - the filter (button) does the job well enough
