Tired of Manually Searching for the Right Data?

If scrolling through massive Google Sheets is wasting your time, you're not alone. Many users struggle to locate the data they need. This week’s video unlocks the power of the FILTER function—a smarter way to extract specific information based on your criteria.

Why You’ll Love FILTER

✅ Instantly get rows matching your conditions
✅ Avoid helper columns or unnecessary formulas
✅ Dynamic filtering—update results in real time
✅ Saves time, reduces clutter, and boosts clarity

You don't need to be a formula expert to use FILTER. With just a few inputs, you can pull exactly what you need—nothing more, nothing less.

Hands-On Practice

Want to try it yourself? Here’s a simple challenge:
👉 Filter out all rows where the “Status” is “Pending.”

Steps:

  1. Create a table with columns like Task, Due Date, Status.
  2. Use this formula:
    =FILTER(A2:C10, C2:C10 = "Pending")

📌 Play around by changing the condition from “Pending” to “Completed” or other values.


Book Recommendation: “Essentialism” by Greg McKeown

Just like FILTER helps you focus on relevant data, this book teaches you to focus on what truly matters in life and work—eliminating distractions and doing less, but better.
