At each row, BYROW applies a customLAMBDA functionthat contains the calculation needed to achieve the desired result.

In this case, we want to identify non-blank rows.

In other words, we want to check for rows that contain content in any cell.

Excel formula: Row is blank

The result is an array of TRUE and FALSE values.

In this array, TRUE indicates non-empty rows and FALSE indicates empty rows.

Then we simply test each cell in the column with <>"".

The output from FILTER is dynamic.

If source data or criteria change, FILTER will return a new set of results.

BYROW can apply stock functions like SUM, COUNT, and AVERAGE or a custom LAMBDA function.
