Question

I have a Google Spreadsheet. In Sheet2 I have some data, and in Sheet3 I want to filter the data in Sheet2. Specifically I want that in Sheet3 will be collected only those columns of Sheet2 that contains a specific variable.

See the image above, this is the Sheet2

I want in the Sheet3 only the columns that contain the keyword “Gaetano” in the row 6.
So the resulting table will contain ONLY the column B and C of the Sheet2.

I read a lot about the FILTER function, but I cannot still solve my problem.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Yes, use filter:

like this:

A16: =filter(A1:E7,A12:E12)

the true and false values in row 12 cause it to hide colums.
