where data (B5:E15) and date (C5:C15) are named ranges. The result returned by FILTER includes data in the month of July only. Here, MONTH receives the range C5:C15. Since the range contains 11 cells, MONTH returns an array with 11 results: Each result is then compared to 7, and this operation creates an array of TRUE and FALSE values, which is delivered to the FILTER function as the include argument. Only rows where the result is TRUE make it into the final output. The if_empty argument is set to “No data” in case no matching data is found.
