Ok here it goes. I have created a job list in a workbook with different sheets for each year the job started in. I then have a master list that I want to pull in all of the active jobs from each of the year sheets. I use this master list with an import function to feed other workbooks that need a drop down list of all current jobs (time cards, to do lists, ect). I am having a problem figuring out how to get information from multiple sheets to popluate the active list. I am pretty sure Vmerge is the way to go but I cant seem to find the right characters. The last line I attempted was
=VMERGE(filter ( '2013'!B3:B; ('2013'!E3:E = "In Progress") ));filter('2012'!B3:B('2012'! E3:E:"In Progress"))
here is the link to a dummy sheet that illustrates what I am going for:

following is a solution to the problem
Amazing Yogi, thank you for the help it works perfectly. I think I am getting a better grasp of the "how" in this the only thing I I dont understand in the function (=query(vmerge('2012'!A2:E;'2013'!A3:E;'2014'!A3:E);"select Col1,Col2,Col3,Col4 where upper(Col5)='IN PROGRESS' ")) is the use of upper, what does that denote. Thanks again for your invaluable help.
