    Automatically extracting Rows from constantly updated Tables

    Hello superusers, first time poster here!

    I would like to extract rows satisfying criteria (akin to tags) from a constantly updated, main table and have them show up linked in the appropriate worksheet tab (in this attached example, appropriate chapters (column F on the main table). I can currently do this by Filtering by that certain criteria, copying the table that shows up, then pasting as linked cells into the appropriate worksheet. However I run into a couple problems:

    1) In the main table, the data in the rows can move around to other rows, so I can't just do a simple "copy & paste linked cells" because they only refer back to a set row (e.g. Sheet1!A4) in the main table. Instead I want it to refer back to whichever rows in the entire main table contain the criteria/tag, even as the data in the row has moved.

    2) Additionally, when I add new data, including the appropriate criteria/tag (chapter column in my attached table), I want that to automatically be extracted into the appropriate worksheet.

    Note: After a perusal of similar questions on excel forum, I could only find ones that required me to view code, then add code, which I presume means it must be saved as a macro-enabled workbook at that point. I would like to do this without using VBA or macros, using instead F(x) like INDEX, QUERY, FILTER, etc.

    Please help! If only #1 can be solved for now that is totally fine. Thank you!
