Excel FILTER built-in function
Hi,
I tried but didn't succed to use FILTER and OFFSET functions in the same formula in order to get values located in the 2nd column of a table, only for rows matching a criteria. It looks like OFFSET isn't able to use FILTER result as its first argument. Am I right? Is there any other solution to what I want to acheive (without using VBA, as I'd like to use this formula for validation purpose)?
Thanks in advance for your replies,
Eric

Thank you, this solution takes me a step further, as I can get the only values of my second column matching the criteria based on first column values.
But if it works as a cell's formula, it still doesn't work as a validation formula.Excel doesn't allow to use array formulas for data validation. You may generate spill by FILTER, even in another sheet (and hide it if necessary), use reference on this spill in data validation
