In summary I am trying to come up with the best way to have a table with subtables in excel and filterable (possibly with slicers, I love a good slicer). I initially was thinking a pivot table might help but since I am not performaning calculations on the data itself that was likely a dumb thought.

The below should explain what I am looking for:

Nested.xlsx
ABCDEFGHIJKLMN
1IDTitle DescriptionStatusMain OwnerTarget date Y/NTarget dateCA/PA Module (Non-Conformance)Audit Module (Findings)Customer Module (Complaints}Suppliers (Supplier Non-Conformance)AssetsIncident Module (Findings)Source
21This is a Title This is a DescriptionThis is a StatusThis is a Main OwnerYThis is a Target dateNYYNNThis is a Incident Module (Findings)This is a Source
4
5Each item in this table is a sub section of the first item in the table above then another item would be another group etc
6IDStage NameStage TypeStage OwnerTarget dateDetailsDisplay the stage actions list? Y/N
71This is a Stage NameThis is a Stage TypeThis is a Stage OwnerThis is a Target dateThis is a DetailsN
8
9
10
11Each item in this table is a sub section of the first item in the table above then another item would be another group etc
12IDDetailsAction OwnerAction Target (Target date)
131This is a DetailsThis is a Action OwnerThis is a Action Target (Target date)
Core information
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
M2:N2,G2,B2:E2B2="This is a"&" " & B$1
A2A2=ROW(1:1)
A7A7=ROW(1:1)
B7:F7B7="This is a"&" " & B$6
A13A13=ROW(1:1)
B13:D13B13="This is a"&" " & B$12
 

Excel Facts

Use Data, What-If Analysis, Goal Seek to find the correct input cell value to reach a desired result
Looks like something similar I did long time ago.

I had a first sheet to allow user interactivity (select, enter a value, your ID. This could be a slicer. Just need to prevent users to select multiple items or at least control the formula if they do.)
Formulas would fetch all the data from different source tables.
I did us pivots that refreshed "on open", because of calculations.

With 365 if would be easier to accomplish, because of spilled arrays, dynamic arrray functions, let and possibly even LAMBDA if you are on the insider program.

365 - Yes
Sadly, no to the insider program
Do you possibly have an example file I could adapt?

Thank you
