How to omit returning the rows for “false” values
I have a worksheet with multiple tabs. The first tab is the master sheet and columns A-G contain identifying data. In the second tab I have created a formula to return the value in column A of the master sheet if the value in column H is greater than Z.
The problem with the formula that I created is that it will also return all of the blank rows if column H is not greater than 0. How do I create a formula that will skip / not return the "false" rows?

I basically understand what you want, without knowing how you are doing this the best answer is going to use the IF function. `=IF(condition, value if true, value if false). Edit your question with an EXACT formula that you are using, and I'll write an answer.

Take a look at this website which uses formulas to filter a table. Unfortunately excel doesn't have an easy way to do this like google docs

=IF('Master Sheet'!H2>Z, 'Master Sheet'!A2, "")
=IF(condition, value if true, value if false)
condition = if the value in column H is greater than Z
If True = If true, return the value in A2 (starting at A2, assuming you have a header row)
If False = If false, return a blank cell. I like to return a dash so I use "-", this way I know something was calculated.
This of course will result in having rows populated and blank, but a simple sort will bring your results to the top.
I hope this helps.

I believe the purpose is to not end up with a bunch of blank rows (which this returns) It sounds like he is looking for a filter more than an if statement.

of course you could always try the formula below if you include a row number collumn in row A and push your data along.
