Objective :
Need to make a sheets that will serve as a document tracking and a searchable database.

Requirement :

1. I need to make a table where I will input data such as tracking number, date, client name, location, status, remarks, and others. It should be able to accommodate continuous entry.

2. In another sheet, let's say sheet 2, I need excel to automatically copy data entered from sheet 1, but sorted based on a criteria. For example, in sheet 2, I would make another table that consist all the locations entered in sheet 1, let's say, I have 5 entries. 3 of them have the same location, BLOCK A. One is BLOCK B, and the other one is BLOCK C. I would have a table with a Header named BLOCK A, and the three data I have inputted in sheet 1 having the same location will be listed there, entire row included, sorted by date if possible.

3. Lastly, in another sheet, would like to make a search bar for tracking number that will display the entire row of the data where the tracking number in sheet 1 matched.

4. If possible, I'd like to accomplish this without using external app / tool. Only using formulas and conditional formatting. Only if it is possible.

Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! I'm not really good at excel and has been relying to Google for formulas and formatting. This time though, the project I want to do is kind of difficult for me to accomplish. Hoping for a response. Thanks! Have a good day!

Also, if you're willing to teach me more, I would really appreciate it, and I really want to learn more tips and tricks in using excel.
