Good evening,
I tried this from scratch and copied exactly what you have. For some reason excel is giving me an error. It tells me there is a problem with the function if I click okay it highlights the I52. It tells me this (FILTER(array,include,[if empty])
I tried using filter function for just 1 column like so
=FILTER(A6:I52,G6:G52=K3,)
And it pulls it up just fine have no idea what I’m doing wrong especially if this works for you.
Thank for all your help.

=FILTER(A6:I52,COUNTIF(OFFSET(G6:I6,ROW(1:47)-1,0),K3)>0)
You can try the above formula to filter multiple occurences of the value entered in cell K3.
=FILTER(A6:I52,(G6:G52=K3)+(H6:H52=K3)+(I6:I52=K3))
I don't understand why this formula doesn't work in your sheet. Can you attach a screenshot of your file where the data, formula and error is shown?
