I am using filter() to return a filtered range of cells. Of that result, I only want one column of the results (so that I can sum the values of that column). What is the syntax (or function) that I can use to do that?

I want to sum the values in column D that correspond to rows with "key_match" in column C.

I want to do something like: =SUM(GET_COLUMN(FILTER(B:F, C:C = "key_match"), D:D)). Filter rows of columns B-F where cells in column C == "key_match"; of that result, I want to calculate the sum of the values in column D. How can I do what I would like GET_COLUMN() to do?

You could just change your filter range:

=sum(FILTER(D:D,C:C="key_match"))

  • Ah! I misunderstood FILTER(). I thought the range had to represent the elements used in the condition (since the docs say "The data to be filtered.", but it merely specifies what is displayed?
