Listing select data from one tab in another

I am trying to find a formula to list select data from one tab into tab sheet on the same document.

 

For example, say Tab 1 had the following information listed in Column A:

  • Apples A
  • Oranges A
  • Oranges B
  • Apples B

 

I want Tab 2 to automatically find all instances where Apples appear in the list and then list them like this:

  • Apples A
  • Apples B

 

At the moment, all I can do is a formula to only show where Apples are listed, but the formula leaves lots of blank spaces in between the listings, so it looks like this:

  • Apples A
  •  
  •  
  • Apples B

 

Is there any way I can just get specific data from one tab to be listed in another tab with no gaps in rows?

    I you are using a modern version of Excel, you can use the FILTER function.

    =FILTER('Tab1'!A1:A4,ISNUMBER(FIND("Apples",'Tab1'!A1:A4)))
