Almost. Only Sheet A is user entered, all the others are retrieved from
Sheet A.

I do not understand the case of using an intermediate sheet as each
sheet(B,C,D) only requires population from certain rows on Sheet A.

I have also tried for the last few days to get vlookup working but have
failed with that too, despite reading the help and using google.

Using the above tables, could you give me an example of the formula to
copy only certain rows onto anther sheet?
