    Using multiple filters per column

    I am currently working on migrating a WorkBook over from Google Sheets to Excel (Sheets is just too slow atm). As expected, there were some syntax changes that had to be made, but I was under the impression that I would be able to perform all the same functions in Excel as in Sheets. I have run into an issue of not being able to pass in multiple filters to a column, as I did in Sheets.

    Here is my formula as used in Sheets:

    The output of this formula is a spill array that populates the column as each criteria is met, dynamically. The closest I've been able to get in Excel so far is dynamically adding ALL passing criteria into single cells. So, in Sheets where each cell would contain a job number, the job name, and the type of job, Excel would have that information for each job type all in one cell, and populate the column with cells like that.

    Does anyone have any advice for this? Is what I'm attempting even possible?

    Re: Using multiple filters per column

    Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one and nobody wants to have to recreate your data from scratch.

    1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

    2. Make sure that your desired results are also shown (mock up the results manually).

    3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).

    4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.

    Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

    Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.
