Is there a way to filter a subset of rows within a Google Sheets Reader? As an example, a google sheet may have 50K records, but I only want to read 1k with a particular attribute value.

Would imagine you can create a view in google sheets and use that link in the reader. The other alternative is to read the full sheet and use a tester.
I'd lead toward the tester since you are dealing with a small record set that will be downloaded instantly. Keeps you from having extra sheets floating around to accidentally be used later.

I guess eventually, the number of total records will grow.
I tried your idea of creating a filtered view. Unfortunately the Google Sheets Reader V4 doesn't seem to recognize the filter itself. Great idea though!

I had never tried it. Figured it would work. My only other thought is to run a process before the process to download a CSV file and have that as the input in the 2nd process. Pretty simple to chain a batch file for the 2 processes together. Or possibly a feature reader? I dunno.
Example csv output with query; on my google sheets I did a query for records containing "c" from column A.
