finding data across sheets by searching a specific column by name and displaying in a found set

Hi Group

 

if I had a spreadsheet with lots of data on several sheets, I wanted to search from a column in each sheet for results from a range of numbers entered in a search cell.

and then display the found results with their complete row in a found sheet so the data can be viewed and compared

 

is this possible?

 

so the number  will be a decimal,  and I would enter something like Search:  18.0 to 19.35

and any cells from a particular column with a number between 18.0 and 19.35 would be pulled into a found set that shows the complete row that is found from the cell.

note the columns may be in different positions so it might be column C in one sheet and column D in another sheet, but I wondered if the columns in each sheet could be named so they have a familiarity with each other.

    It's possible with some 365 functions capable of handling 3D references such as VSTACK and TOCOL, for example. It's difficult to draw up a formula without a sample workbook.

    Yes it can be done.
    Could you please share your worksheet for reference data and expected outcome? so that specific solution can be provided.

      hi SandeepMarwal and Patrick2788 

      I have not constructed the spreadsheet yet as I am thinking about how to set it up. but I had a private message that was very helpful and gave me this link which was very informative on this matter:
