Default find by first two characters

I have a list of rows that contain cells in a varying number of columns. The
columns contain values like: 1-4895, 22-1456, 37-4568 etc. I would like to
copy and separate these cells into columns based on the numbers to the left
of the dash starting at 1, 22, 37 and so on. If the column has a heading of
22 for instance, it would list only the records that contained 22 as the
first numbers of the value. The end result would be that I could filter all
of the rows that had a cell the contained a value starting with 1, or 22 or
37 etc.
I suppose i'm looking for a formula that will copy only values that meet a
specific criteria like an IF statement that selects only the characters
before the dash.
