Select part numbers from a list; calculate statistics from selected records
 

Hello --

Our user wants to select 2 or more part numbers available in a certain sales
region (identified in a single cell) from the parts list and calculate
statistics for the parts selected (average bandwidth requirements, etc.).

The parts list looks like:
part_number region bandwidth_req'd etc.

I have successfully used a listbox (multiple selection) to display data so
the user can select it.

Can someone help me with ideas for
1 - filtering the source for the listbox so that only parts available in the
specific region appear
2 - calculating statistics only for the 2 or more parts clicked in the
listbox.

For the calculations, I thought of putting a character in a "dummy" column
for the parts clicked, but my thinking is fuzzy on how to use rows marked
that way in calculations.

Thanks for any help.

If you parts are listed in a database you could possibly use the VLOOKU
or HLOOKUP commands to help this.

Thanks.

The part numbers and related data are in an xls row-column matrix with
column names at the top. Is this what you mean by a database?

Do you have any suggestions on how I can put the results of a LOOKUP in the
contents of a listbox?
