Generating a Report based off Filter Criteria

Hi All,

I am attempting to generate a report off of a filter criteria in the main sheet. It is is a live document and we work off specific filter criteria's per person, but I want to generate a report based off the circled "Current Renewals" only, but when I go to to generate the report, the report takes all historical data from the sheet rather than the filtered criteria. Is there a way to bypass that so I can generate the report based only off my desired filter?

    Hi @JDSpec13

    I hope you're well and safe!

    You would have to replicate the filter with a formula in a so-called helper column and use that as the criterion in the report.

    Make sense?

    Would that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
