With help from some of this site's suggestions, I've got the following formula to pull from several worksheets:

=FILTER(VSTACK(FRR:SOD!G3:M200),(VSTACK(FRR:SOD!K3:K200)<>"")*(VSTACK(FRR:SOD!K3:K200)="ABC XXXX"))

Instead of looking for an exact match to "ABC XXXX", Is there a way to filter for a partial match to just "ABC"? Think of "ABC" as a location, and "XXXX" as a job/position at that location. In the columns across my 10 worksheets "ABC" is constant, but there are multiple variations to the "XXXX" in all the cells and these designations cannot be altered at this point. I would like to be able to pull everyone assigned to "ABC" to a new worksheet then filter by "XXXX" job/position. Is that possible?

I appreciate any help you all can provide.

Thanks!
 
So if I have similar cell structure where I need to isolate "ABCD", I would use "4" instead...
yes
left(VSTACK(FRR:SOD!K3:K200),4)="ABCD"
