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

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
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))))))
