Not sure I understand how FILTER works
FILTER() does not support the use of functions like AND() and OR(). The syntactically valid version of =FILTER(A1:A6,AND(A1:A6="bar",TRUE)) would be =FILTER(A1:A6,(A1:A6="bar")*TRUE), although it's technically redundant because it's effectively constructing this array foo | TRUE | foo | TRUE | bar | TRUE | foo | TRUE | foo | TRUE | foo | TRUE and saying "return all the rows that have both bar and TRUE" when just the first criterion would suffice because TRUE is a constant across all of the rows.

Google Sheets - FILTER function
D2:D on current page not same as A2:A on source sheet2. D2:D current might be 900 rows and source Sheet2 might be 10000 rows. Also, as written, your formula won't work the way you want with comparing to D2:D. What I would suggest, is to add an extra sheet in the local spreadsheet and just pull in all the source columns with =IMPORTRANGE("link", "sheet!A2:Q") Then back on your order sheet, use XLOOKUP against the new sheet: =XLOOKUP(D2,NewSheet!A:A,NewSheet!Q:Q,"NOT FOUND") More on reddit.com

I can show you how to write the formula and use it in the filter. More on reddit.com

What's the difference between FILTER and QUERY in Google Sheets?
The FILTER function is simpler and easier to use for quick row-level filtering based on one or more conditions. QUERY, on the other hand, uses SQL-like syntax and offers more flexibility, such as grouping, pivoting, or selecting specific columns. Use FILTER when you need speed and simplicity. Use QUERY when you need advanced operations or custom output formatting.
