Hi Cari

i think excel wouldn't be the best program to use for your wishes.
I would recommend MSAccess to you. There you could setup
diffrent tables for rooms, boxes, items. Then you can link those
and afterwards you can get the results with a query.

Greetings

Carlo

a search and locate the box which has a black wood skirt is in.
i.e.
