I am looking to colate a list of values which appear on multiple tabs in a work book.

Sheet 1 and 2 below have varying data but not all in the same columns.

Book1
ABC
1NumbersLettersColours
2123abcblue
3456defred
4789ghiyellow
Sheet1


Book1
ABCD
1ShapesNumbersLettersColours
2Circle123abcred
3Square456defyellow
4Triangle789ghiblue
Sheet2


I would like sheet 3 to then filter the number columns from sheets 1 and 2 and pull any with the colour blue through. to show the below.

Book1
A
1Show Blue numbers
2123
3789
Sheet3


I can do this one sheet at a time using =FILTER(Sheet1!A2:A4,Sheet1!C2:C4="blue","") but struggling to get the array to then also check the second sheet.

I am looking to do this without macros, only formulas. Any assistance would be appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
Roughly how many rows of data do you have on each sheet?

Ok, how about
Excel Formula:
=LET(a,FILTER(Sheet1!A2:A1000,Sheet1!C2:C1000="blue"),b,FILTER(Sheet2!B2:B1000,Sheet2!D2:D1000="blue"),r,ROWS(a),s,SEQUENCE(r+ROWS(b)),IF(s<=r,INDEX(a,s),INDEX(b,s-r)))

Solution
=LET(a,FILTER(Sheet1!A2:A1000,Sheet1!C2:C1000="blue"),b,FILTER(Sheet2!B2:B1000,Sheet2!D2:D1000="blue"),r,ROWS(a),s,SEQUENCE(r+ROWS(b)),IF(s<=r,INDEX(a,s),INDEX(b,s-r)))
Again Fluff you have helped me out! going to have to start sending crates of beer as thanks!

You can add more like
Excel Formula:
=LET(a,FILTER(Sheet1!A2:A1000,Sheet1!C2:C1000="blue"),b,FILTER(Sheet2!B2:B1000,Sheet2!D2:D1000="blue"),c,FILTER(Sheet1!A2:A1000,Sheet1!C2:C1000="blue"),ra,ROWS(a),rb,ra+ROWS(b),s,SEQUENCE(rb+ROWS(c)),IF(s<=ra,INDEX(a,s),IF(s<=rb,INDEX(b,s-ra),INDEX(c,s-rb))))
just as long as you do not have too many sheets.

I think the work book will be maximum of five sheets. I can understand the logic of majority of the formula so I will have a play. Thank you again!

Would you be able to review the below? I am getting a #calc error, assuming I am exceeding the amount of sheets?

Excel Formula:
=LET(a,FILTER('(NA) - NOT APPLICABLE'!A2:A1000,'(NA) - NOT APPLICABLE'!I2:I1000="NOT IN BASELINE, VIEW EXEMPTIONS"),b,FILTER('(CLOSED) - CLOSED-TERMINATED'!B2:B1000,'(CLOSED) - CLOSED-TERMINATED'!L2:L1000="NOT IN BASELINE, VIEW EXEMPTIONS"),c,FILTER('(OPEN) - OPEN'!A2:A1000,'(OPEN) - OPEN'!L2:L1000="NOT IN BASELINE, VIEW EXEMPTIONS"),d,FILTER('(ONE-OFF) - ONE-OFF'!A2:A1000,'(ONE-OFF) - ONE-OFF'!R2:R1000="NOT IN BASELINE, VIEW EXEMPTIONS"),e,FILTER('(REPEAT) - REPEAT'!A2:A1000,'(REPEAT) - REPEAT'!AC2:AC1000="NOT IN BASELINE, VIEW EXEMPTIONS"),ra,ROWS(a),rb,ra+ROWS(b),rc,rb+ROWS(c),rd,rc+ROWS(d),s,SEQUENCE(rd+ROWS(e)),IF(s<=ra,INDEX(a,s),IF(s<=rb,INDEX(b,s-ra),IF(s<=rc,INDEX(c,s-rb), IF(s<=rd,INDEX(d,s-rc),INDEX(e,s-rd))))))
