#Name? error in my filter formula.

Copper Contributor

Hi, looking for help solving my formula issue. 

What I'm looking for my formula to do.

Input all the rows that have the word "needed" in them into a new workbook. To do So I have been trying the filter formula. 

 

The formula I have been using.

=Filter('Workbook Name'!A1:S86,'Sheet Name'!A1:S86="Needed")

 

After entering this excel has me chose the file name from my saved documents and alters the formula to the following.

=Filter([Workbook Name.xlsm]A1:S86,[Sheet name]Sheet1!A1:S86="Needed"

 

Then I get the #Name? Error.

 

Not sure how to fix this so that I can automate the migration of rows containing the word "Needed" to other workbooks

 

 

Thank you in advance.

I don't understand. The range in the 2nd argument of the FILTER function should be a single column.

 

And if you want to refer to a range in another workbook, it has to be in the form

 

'[workbook name]sheet name'!range
