    Question Filter formula gives empty cells

    Hello Experts,

    I hope one of you could help me with a small issue
    I am trying to set up a file that uses the filter formula to see who is available on a certain date
    I'm using another formula to fill in the names on a date that they are available, but this formula is giving me empty fields in the filter area (see file attached)

    Is there a possibilty that the formula Filter skips these cells?

    Please ask me if something is not clear to you, also if you have suggestions for an easier way for me to retrive the needed data.



    Thanks in advance,
    RV

    Yes, that's better. Description is important.

    Try this:

    =LET(f,SORT(FILTER(B2:F18,B1:F1=N1)),FILTER(f,f<>""))
