Default Organizing worksheets in a workbook

I have a master worksheet with system downtime data. Example

System Date owner time down
XXX 12/5 Jim 12:45
YYY 12/5 Jim 1:30
ZZZ 12/5 Frank 2:45
XXX 12/8 Jim 3:15

I then have worksheets for each of the Systems XXX, YYY, and ZZZ. I used an
IF statement to pull the rows of data to the respective worksheets. The
problem is the data for XXX shows on rows 1 and 4 of the XXX worksheet and I
have 2 blank rows where the YYY and ZZZ data was. Is there anyway to get the
2nd XXX data on Row 2 on the XXX worksheet.

My IF statement on the XXX worksheet in A2 is IF('sheet1'!A2:A2000 = "XXX",
'sheet1'!A2:A2000,"")

Thanks

The problems with using IF statements is that they may be rather cumbersome
and may become unreliable when the data in the master worksheet is moved or
deleted (as I think you may have already found).

Are you using the worksheets for each of the systems XXX etc as a means of
analysing data in the master worksheet? If so, you could reduce the
workload by using 'pivot tables' (if you want a printable table of
abstracted data) or 'Advance filter' (if you want data in the form of a
worksheet).

Regards.
