# FILTER

Filters a data range or array based on specified conditions.

### Syntax

=FILTER( Range; Criteria [; Return if empty])

Range: The array or range to filter.

Criteria: A boolean array whose height (filtering by columns) or width (filtering by rows) is the same as the array, used to select data from the Range.

Result if empty: (optional) the value to return if all values in the Criteria array are empty (filter return nothing).

#### Example

The following data will be used as example

| A | B | C
--- | --- | --- | ---
1 | Maths | Physics | Biology
2 | 47 | 67 | 33
3 | 36 | 68 | 42
4 | 40 | 65 | 44
5 | 39 | 64 | 60
6 |  | 38 | 43
7 | 47 | 84 | 62
8 | 29 | 80 | 51
9 | 27 | 49 | 40
10 | 57 | 49 | 12
11 | 56 | 33 | 60
12 | 57 |  |
13 | 26 |  |

{=FILTER(A2:C13;A2:A13>50)} returns the array containing all grades with Maths grade above 50. Note that this is an array formula.

57 | 49 | 12
56 | 33 | 60
57 |  |

{=FILTER(A2:C13;B2:B13>90;"No results")} Returns the string "No results", since no grade on Physics is above 90.
