VLOOKUP only pulling data from a specific work center

[Hannah_Pham93]

Hi all, I'm trying to create a spreadsheet that allows me to dump data from a report into the first tab and then using vlookups (I assume that's the best way to do it, but maybe it's not) to pull data to different tabs. Each tab represents a different machine and the data being pulled from the first tab will be open manufacturing orders, priority, qty, orders, etc. So for example, the first tab is labelled 5526 (the work center code) -- I want to make a formula to only pull data from the master tab for WC 5526. How can I do this?

A note, I am currently relying on sorting the table per WC, but every time I dump in new data I have to re-filter each tab, so I'm trying to prevent that manual work.

Tab with all the data:

Work Center (WC) tab where I need the formula:

Try making your Dispatch List Master spreadsheet into a table so that your Master file is dynamic and you don't need to change the range with new additions, I named mine Master. Then make sure each WC tab has headers that match the Master sheet. Then, in 5151 tab for example, use this in your upper-left-most non-header cell (A5 as above):

=SORT(FILTER(Master,Master[WC]=5151),6)

This sorts by the 6th column of the Master Tab (I used due date, I'm not sure what you wanted to sort by). I didn't account for the WO# that doesn't appear in your visible Master Sheet. See my example in screenshots following.
