Hi all

On Worksheet "Financials" B6 I have *data
This data varies *every time it appears every 16 rows
ie b6
* *b22
* *b38
* *etc
Associated with this data is a date that appears in
ie A4 * ( for B6 data)
* *A20 *(for B22 data)
* *A36 *(for B38 data)

On worksheet "Diary"n I have A cell H24 that has a drop down list with all
the dates.

When I pick a date on that list i would like B24 ON " DIARY" WORKSHEET TO
GIVE THE DATA RELATED TO THAT DATE. THE DATE RANGE IN THE A COLUMN GOES NO
FURTHER THAN A4020 AND THAE DATA IN THE B COLUMN NO FURTHER THAN B4022.

If you have the time can you roughly outline the elements of the formula

thanks for looking
