Is there a formula to do this? I would like to extract a specific user and information below from multiple worksheets and put into new worksheet from one excel document.

Hi,

That's not something that a single formula does.

However, you could use the MS Query feature via Data/Get External Data/New Database Query - Excel Workbooks -- YOUR WORKBOOK -- YOUR WORKSHEET.........

Thanks but that wont just grab one user from each worksheet within the spreadsheet.
 


Why not? It all depends if you have stored your data in a proper table format.

I get error message "Data source contains no visible tables." I just have column headers.
 


In the Query Wizard -- Choose columns window, hit the [Options] button and check ALL Show Table Options.
