When you filter by a cell value in Google Sheets, your sheet will be setup so that you can change the value in the cell at any time, which will automatically update the value that the filter criteria it attached to. In this example, we want to achieve the same goal as discussed above, but rather than typing the condition that we want to filter by directly into the formula, we are using a cell reference.

But if you want to learn how to filter horizontally, check out the article that is linked below. This article focuses on filtering vertically, which is the most common way of using the FILTER function in Google Sheets. *Note that the source range and the single column range for the condition, must be the same size (must contain the same number of rows), or the cell will display an error that says " filter has mismatched range sizes". The criteria that set in the condition can be manually typed into the formula as a number or text, or it can also be a cell reference. The range that is used to check against the criteria that you set, must be a single column (later I will show you how to filter by multiple conditions, but don’t worry about that for now).
