    Filter, Extract Columns of Interest

    I am struggling to learn / utilize some of the new Excel 2021 formulas. I also might not be thinking of the best way to solve my problem. See description below and attached.

    I have 3 columns of interest (A, B, and Q). With lots of data in between and rows occurring irregularly. Is there a way to filter columns of interest with data? So, for example, column A might be my column of the "most interest"....how would I write a formula to get A, B, Q all extracted separately?

    Re: Filter, Extract Columns of Interest

    Try this:

    =LET(c,CHOOSECOLS(A1:Q6,1,2,17),FILTER(c,INDEX(c,,1)<>0))

    If you don't have CHOOSECOLS, try this instead:

    =LET(c,FILTER(A1:Q6,A1:A6<>0),CHOOSE({1,2,3},INDEX(c,,1),INDEX(c,,2),INDEX(c,,17)))

    or:

    =LET(d,A1:Q9,r,ROWS(d),c,INDEX(d,SEQUENCE(r),{1,2,17}),FILTER(c,INDEX(c,,1)<>0))
