# FILTERIF

The FILTERIF function can be used to filter an array of values based on a given condition. It returns an array and should be used with an aggregate function such as SUM or AVERAGE.

## Syntax

```javascript
filterif( list, condition)
```

## Arguments

list – The input list of values on which the filter is to be applied

condition – The condition to be evaluated

## Return value

Returns an array.

## Example 1

```javascript
sum(filterif([United States].DESCENDANTS, ROW.LABEL = 'Soda'))
```

The formula above uses FILTERIF to filter all rows under Region 'United States' with category = 'Soda'. It will then sum up all these values column-wise.
