I am using Excel Professional 2019. I want to use the FILTER function However, it doesn't show up on the functions available to me. How do I access or enable use of this function? This is where the function is described, showing that Excel 2019 should have this available: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/filter-function-f4f7cb66-82eb-4767-8f7c-4877ad80c759.
Thank You!

It's an error in the documentation.
The FILTER function has never been available in Excel in Office 2019. It was introduced in the subscription version Microsoft 365, and the first 'permanent license' version in which it is available is Office 2021.
