I will try .. :)

I have spreed sheet with few columns(exemple): Name-Year of birth-Gender-Starting Month-Job-Group

The row look like that..Yair - 1981 - Male - May - Engineer - Devops.

So i want that every end of month lets say every 25th of any Month the automation will take all the rows that contain: Year of birth is not 1980, Male and from Devops Group, to a new spreed sheet that i will give him.

I hope its more clearly :)

Thanks!

If you are trying to use GSheets, then you may have to explore using the GSheets API to do advanced querying.

Try using the AI assist to configure the Zap action: GSheets - App Extensions

 

You may want to explore using Airtable instead of GSheets.

Airtable has Views, which are segments of data. (sort, filter, group, show/hide fields, reorder fields)

@YairSabag 

There are 2 fields that work together.

  • Lookup Column
    • This will be a specified column header
  • Lookup Value
    • Here you will provide the value to search for in the selected Lookup Column

In the Lookup Value field you need to either provide a static value or map a dynamic variable from a previous step.

@YairSabag 

You would need to create a field in the GSheet with concatenated values if you are trying to search for 3+ conditions.
