I'm having a problem with using FILTER function with multiple criteria. I understand that to apply multiple criteria I need to place * between the criteria but I am getting #VALUE! error (each criteria works individually but not when I try both at the same time. This is my formula to try and get a filtered list of dates/times from column C without including blank rows or rows with the tile "Date Submitted" in them.
Excel Formula:
=FILTER(Data!C:C,Data!C:C<>"Date Submitted"*Data!C:C<>"")

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
I think try this and revert

In lieu of AND we need OR option

Excel Formula:
=FILTER(Data!C:C,(Data!C:C<>"Date Submitted")+(Data!C:C<>""))

How about
Excel Formula:
=FILTER(Data!C:C,(Data!C:C<>"Date Submitted")*(Data!C:C<>""))

Solution
I checked your formula, it needs minor modification to work

Excel Formula:
=FILTER(Data!C:C,(Data!C:C<>"Date Submitted")*(Data!C:C<>""))

This results in a #SPILL! error, even though there is no cells containing anything to prevent it spilling?
