I have been successfully using this formula: =UNIQUE(FILTER(pp_tasks,(wbs_Hire=1))) with great success to apply an auto filter to a set of unique values. In a certain use case, this data set is still too large and I only want it to return the first 200 values. This formula: = INDEX( UNIQUE(pp_tasks), SEQUENCE(10) works to accomplish this goal, but I cannot identify the syntax to fold in the FILTER.

Am I trying to do too much with one formula and simply need to build yet another helper column?
 

Excel Facts

Shade all formula cells
To shade all formula cells: Home, Find & Select, Formulas to select all formulas. Then apply a light fill color.
How about
Excel Formula:
=TAKE(UNIQUE(FILTER(pp_tasks,(wbs_Hire=1))),200)
