Search for Last Name A-K on one tab and return all data in row on another tab - Google Sheets
11:40 30 Jan 2026

I have Google Sheet that I use where we input students information for offenses on one tab "Master List". I need to have any students whose names begin with A thru K to have all data from their row pulled to a different tab "A-K".

Tab "Master List" is setup like this:

A B C D E
1 Last Name First Name ID # Date of Offense Notes
2 Smith Mark 0001 1/29/26 Blah
3 Doe John 0002 1/30/26 Blah

Tab "A-K" is setup like this:

A B C D E
1 Last Name First Name ID # Date of Offense Notes
2
3

In this example, only the data from row 3 of "Master List" should be pulled onto the tab "A-K".

New students are added to this list multiple times a day, so I need it to automatically pull this data from "Master List" onto tab "A-K" as soon as it is entered.
