A nice feature in Google Spreadsheets is the ability to use functions to sort or manipulate the data.  If you are using a Google Form to collect data from students or just using data that you have collected yourself, sometimes you want to be able to look quickly at the data relevant to some variable such as name.  The Filter function will allow you to easily pull out the data from one spreadsheet and place it into tab so that you can easily  analyze the data related to that variable.  Follow the directions in the video below to use the Filter function.
