I have a workbook with two worksheets in it. the first is a list of items a
description and a purchase month, the other is a table by month. I an
looking to create a method where I can select from a dropdown a product and
it will populate the table on the second sheet. Any suggestions?

Hi

Without getting too complicated, I would suggest using a pivot table, which
is designed to summarise data. You can find it under the Data heading.

I agree that this would be good for summary numbers. I am not looking to do
summaries, I am looking for a way to generate a sublist from a master list.
