@heshamsheeha MS support pages indicate the following regarding FILTER:
Note: This function is currently available to Microsoft 365 subscribers in the Monthly channel. It will be available to Microsoft 365 subscribers in the Semi-Annual channel starting in July 2020. For more information on how features are rolled out to Microsoft 365 subscribers, see When do I get the newest features in for Microsoft 365.

Hello@heshamsheeha
The FILTER Function is one of the Six Dynamic Array functions functions and they are currently available to subscribers on the Insiders Fast and Microsoft 365 Monthly Channel E3/E5
Semi-Annual and Annual Channels to follow suit
Maybe Microsoft will include it in Office 2022

The difference between 2019 and 365 is here What's the difference between Microsoft 365 and Office 2019? In particular, it says 2019 never will have new functionality.
How to upgrade it's better to ask your local reseller, afraid you shall just to purchase the subscription. Bit more is here How do I upgrade Office?
Which version it's depends on how are you going to use Office. From dynamic array functionality point of view it's not necessary enterprise E3/E5, that could be Family or others, it's important to updater from semi-annual on current or beta channels. However, dynamic arrays will be on semi-annual as well in couple of months or so. Functionality for concrete subscription it's better to check additionally.

I find it's one thing to never add new functionality to Office 2019 but quite another to disable the functionality it once had in order to force you to the cloud version off Office.
This is one more reason why the government should put some limits on big tech firms - I say that and I'm a big tech supporter and against government controls but big tech continues to abuse their position by disabling my software on my computer that I paid for

The FILTER function has never been available in Excel in Office 2019. It was introduced in the subscription version Microsoft 365, and the first 'permanent license' version in which it is available is Office 2021.
