Hi - Dave here.
Happy Friday!
Of all the new functions in Excel, I think the FILTER function is the most generally useful because it lets you extract
just the data you want to see.
One problem that comes up often with FILTER is how to filter values between two dates, as seen in the worksheet below. Basically, we want to look for dates that are greater than or equal to a start date in F5 and less than or equal to an end date in G5. Then we want to extract the corresponding data.
You might think we can use the AND function inside FILTER to solve this problem. However, because AND returns just a
single value, this won't work. Instead, we use something called Boolean logic to test the dates.
