Default find formula that will look up a value in a specific column and .

I am looking for a formula that will find a certain text value (open) in a
column (J) and pull that row (or row #) to a new sheet. Does anyone know if
there is a way to do that?

Providing the data starts in J1 the formula below will return the row
number. Bear in mind that a formula can only return a value, not move data.
You may also be looking for a VLOOKUP, it was just the way your question was
phrased that made me return a row number

=MATCH("Open",Sheet1!J:J,0)
