This is used as opposed to filtering right in the original data set because all it will do is hide rows which can get messy if you donât realize some information is not shown. Just like the Sort and Sortby functions, this formula keeps your original source data clean and gives you the ability to analyze a slice of it. The aggregate function allows you to sum your data and ignore error rows â treating them as if they donât exist.
