I am using excel365 online and but have excel2016 downloaded onto my computer. I am getting error messages but not sure why. The formula that I have is as follows:

=FILTER(CHOOSE((1,2,3),'Employee_Name'!A:A,'Employee_Name'!J:J,'Employee_Name'!B:B),'Employee_Name'!G:G="Bob","")

I have changed the sheetnames, but the formula should still be the same. The youtube video's i am watching show this formul as being correct, but for the life of me I am not able to make it work.

This has to be done online, and I know filter function works...but for the life of me I can't figure out why this isn't working.
 

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
The FILTER function is not available in Excel 2016.

The 123 should be in {} not () but you could also use
Excel Formula:
=FILTER(hstack('Employee_Name'!A:A,'Employee_Name'!J:J,'Employee_Name'!B:B),'Employee_Name'!G:G="Bob","")
