    Pulling Data to separate sheets based on one column

    I am trying to figure out how to pull data based on column B to individual tabs.

    I have the following data



    A B C D
    Jane Doe | L1 | 20% | High
    John Doe | L2 | 15% | Medium
    Mike Smith | L1 | 60% | Low
    Marie Smith | L4 | 10% | Low


    I want to have the first tab/spreadsheet only pull records that have L1 values for column B
    In the next tab/spreadsheet I want to pull records that have L2 values in column B etc.

    What formula can I write that will pull all L1 records (A.B.C.D) in to Tab 1, then all L2 records (A,B,C,D) into the next tab?

    Re: Pulling Data to separate sheets based on one column

    I am trying this but it's pulling the same record over and over. Would it be a problem if the cell has a pick list?

    Re: Pulling Data to separate sheets based on one column

    In the workbook that I uploaded, row 2 has the same formula on worksheets 2,3,4. All one has to do is to copy the formula on Sheet2 row 2 to any new worksheet. The formula is linked to A1 of the active sheet.

    If you select A1 on say Sheet2, click on the Data Tab, Data Validation, List and enter the "L" values in a straight list like this L1, L2, L4. Add to this listing as required. A drop-down list will appear and you can choose what value you want and the listing on the worksheet will change accordingly.

    Re: Pulling Data to separate sheets based on one column

    Not sure what I am doing wrong it's still only pulling one record and it's not always correct to the L value that I choose in the drop down list. This is the formula I have entered:

    =IFERROR(INDEX('2013 Talent Pool'!$D$2:$D$70,SMALL(IF('2013 Talent Pool'!$H$2:$H$70=$C$1,ROW('2013 Talent Pool'!$H$2:$H$70)-MIN(ROW('2013 Talent Pool'!$H$2:$H$70))+1),ROWS('2013 Talent Pool'!$1:1))),"")

    Column D = Name
    Column H = L values

    Re: Pulling Data to separate sheets based on one column

    This is an ARRAY FORMULA entered with Ctrl + Shift + Enter. If entered not as an array formula, the results will be highly "volatile".

    Note that the formula in each column varies only in the first INDEX range and the rest of the formula remains constant.

    There are only 2 things that I can think of that will cause the formula to fail and the first one is the Array Formula not being used and the second is if this formula is on the 213 Talent Pool worksheet, it won't work. It must be on a worksheet other than 2013 Talent Pool.

    If you are still having problems, can you upload the actual workbook with confidential data removed?
