Enable an in-cell dropdown in Google Sheets that filters rows based on your selection. For instance, choosing ‘G1’ will display only rows with that group.
Entry | Details | Group ▼
-------------------------
Sam | Data | G1
Lily | Stats | G2
Considering similar use cases, integrating the FILTER function directly within the sheet can offer a clean solution. In my experience, using a formula like FILTER(DataRange, ConditionRange=SelectedValue) allows you to display only the relevant rows without relying heavily on scripts. After establishing a cell for dropdown selection, place the formula in another section. This approach minimizes complications and makes updating seamless as your data evolves. I’ve found this method to be both reliable and easy to maintain, making it a practical answer to dynamic filtering needs.
