I'd like to use data in column D
For a drop down in another sheet (data validation)
Only items where column A is less than 9
I tried List from a range
But it looks like you cannot put a formula in the range box
e.g.
=FILTER(GrpsTY!D2:D, GrpsTY!A2:A < 9)
Any suggestions?
formulas are not supported in data validation. the best course of action is to create a helper column with your filtered entries and then feed it to data validation.
Maybe they have added the functionality since the most recent answer (last July, 2020)?
I'm trying to figure out a formula that will let me validate data using a filtered list, and stumbled onto this:
This image shows that Google Sheets supports data validation using a custom formula
For Criteria, select "Custom formula is" instead of the default, "List from a range".
Hope this helps anyone who comes after me :)

I hope someone can help with a problem I’m facing. I’m pretty new to Data Validation using Custom Formulas so I’d appreciate your guidance. I hope I have explained the situation clearly. Thanks.
I want to use data validation in cell B1 (Portfolio Tab) which creates a drop down list of the number of columns (1 to 44). I want to use the list as a way to sort a table (Column Headers - C3:AT4).
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qunKbFGNzzGU9lNCPFow8igkR_gaPudmanTK-WM43mA/edit#gid=58173089
By selecting 1 from the drop down list I want my table to be sorted in Descending order by Portfolio%. Then if I want to sort by Name in Descending order I want to select 3 from the drop down list. Finally once I’m done sorting I want to revert back/reset to my original view. I want to do this without changing anything in columns A and B. Please assist. Thank You.

solution 1:
forget dropdown and use filter view inmerge row 3 & 4
delete row 1 & 4
select your range C2:AT
and creatte filter view
now you can sort one, multiple or all columns like:
solution 2:
create a duplicate of your sheet:
delete your range C3:AT
use this in C3:
=QUERY({Portfolio!C3:AT}, "order by Col"&B1&" desc", 2)
solution 3:
use sorting script... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/google-apps-script+sorting
I have a column called "Masterlist" which contains values from Lists 1, 2 and 3. It also contains values which are present only in Masterlist.
How can I filter them, like shown at the attached image in Google Sheets?
EDIT: The lists will have more than one entries.
Solution 1
In E2, type in
=filter(A2:A,arrayformula(iserror(match(A2:A,B2:D2,0))))
Check the documentation of filter or match for how to use them. With match, be sure to include the third argument. That is an easy one to forget. arrayformula iterates a formula over a range. The output can be a range, in which case it will print over any un-written cells. When arrayformula interacts with match, it only iterates over the first argument, which is why this solution works.
EDIT: If you have a two-dimensional range to match to, you need to collapse them into a one-dimensional range using the concatenation operators such as
=filter(A2:A,arrayformula(iserror(match(A2:A,{B2:B4;C2:C4;D2:C4},0))))
You can experiment with endings without row indices and let Google Sheets select an ending index for you.
Solution 2
Use the native Filter View feature. Good for the scenarios where you don't need to separately print a list of the unique values in "masterlist".
Go to Data -> Create Filter View
Use the relevant help pages to navigate yourself. I can see a few ways to implement what you desire, including
filter by value on the same column (selecting the actual values manually);
filter by value on a "helper column" where you include a formula in the cells to check whether the content in "masterlist" belongs to the list you want to check against. You can use the match and iserror combo here;
custom formula using a similar formula as above.
If your column A, ie. the "masterlist", is something a user would add to, then Data Validation can be used to good effect in conjunction with Filter View.
I'm trying to bind a table and a graph using d3 and jqGrid library. For that I have to get the search typed by the user in the searchbox (my table looks like this : http://www.guriddo.net/demo/guriddojs/)
I've found this function :
grid.getGridParam("postData").filters
but I don't know how to use it. I thought about the trigger event "jqGridToolbarAfterSearch" to get the data after each search but doesn't seems to work...
If someone has an idea I'll be very grateful!
Thanks.
Ps : if the same method exist to set data, I'm interested too.
I hope that I correctly understand your problem. I suppose that you first converts the CSV data of the demo to some more continent data format: array of items with some properties (name, economy, cylinders, displacement, power, weight, mph, year). Then you can use datatype: "local" and data as the input data. I suppose that the user apply the local filter and then you want to get the filtered data
If you use free jqGrid fork of jqGrid (it's the fork which I develop) then you can get lastSelectedData parameter (var filteredData = $grid.jqGrid("getGridParam", "lastSelectedData");) to have the array of filtered items (see the demo). After that you can use d3 with the filtered items.
I've been working on this project where I need to consolidate data from two other sheets within the spreadsheet and filter the result for easy viewing. But I realized the problem when the filter gives no result there will be a #VALUE! error. The error isn't solved even when I have used IFERROR.
Link to the sample of the Google Spreadsheets.
There are two classes and I wish to filter out those who passed in the class and populate the table in the collated sheet.
You should be able to do something like this:
=query({Class1!A2:C; Class2!A2:C}, "where Col3 = 'pass'")
(change the sheet names and ranges to suit !).
(Also check the formula I entered in A1 of sheet 'JP')
I know, that it is possible to filter dataTable Control on client as it is shown in this exaple:
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/datatable/dt_localfilter.html
Is it also possible to filter more columns? I'd like to have 2 textfields, and when I type sth to the first one, DataTable would filter according to the 'areacode' (from the example) and when I type sth to the second one, DataTable would filter according to the 'state'.
Is this possible somehow? Thanks for any help.
The simplest way to modify the existing example would be to build a request string that contains the information for each text box. For example (column1=a&colum2=b), modify the doBeforeCallback to split the request and do the filtering for each column.
