Instead of transferring the data and storing it twice you can filter the
main data to show only specific names.

Highlight all the data and then select Data Filter Autofilter

This will put arrowhead in the header cells. Click on the Names arrowhead
and select the name that you want to filter on and Xl will filter the dat
and only show the name that you selected.

Selecting (All) in the arowhead dropdown will show all the data again.

Sorry for sounding an idiot but help. I have two workbooks for recording
training purposes. I need the main workbook to automatically transfer
details of specific training to the personalised training log. How do I
get
excel to recognise the individual names and details when inputting on the
master workbook so that it will transfer the relevant data to the
personalised training log?

Thanks in anticipation and please assume no knowledge at this end.
