Dear members, having below query with excel filter function.

Given below is data set, formula 1 and formula 2.

Having query with formula 2 given below.

I am not getting why result of formula 2 is including item with units sold =4 when my condition for filter is unit sold is >5. (formula 2 is also not including units sold =7 item).

I am using office 365 desktop version.

Thanks.

This is a data set range (a1 to c9)
Result of formula 1
Suzie

2.75​
Sally

David

2.52​
Formula 1

=FILTER(SORTBY(A2:C9,B2:B9,1),SORTBY(B2:B9,B2:B9,1)>5)
This formula is giving correct result providing list where unit sold quantity is >5
Result of formula 2
Tom
4​
2.99​
Sally
8​
3.18​
David
9​
2.52​
Formula 2
=FILTER(SORTBY(A2:C9,B2:B9,1),B2:B9>5)
The query is why this formula is including "Tom" when it has unit sold = 5 but filter condition is >5
