How do i pull details from a table to appear as a list in excel?
 

I am trying to catalogue my DVD collection by main character and by genre. I
want to be able to display my lists of films when selecting one of each of
these 2 variables, is this possible to do in excel?

I am currently using drop down lists to select each of the variables but
cannot work out how to programme the cells to except the data. Please can you
help? Even I need to create a Macro please can you start me off on the right
track.

Many Thanks

Data=Filter=Autofilter should work without any code.

Thanks for this, is there anyway of displaying the info in a list of cells.
For Example if the actor is Sean Connery and the Genre is Action for it to
list all his bond movies and the Rock in say cells c10 onwards?

Consider the use of the Autofilter or Advanced Filter features.

Debra Dalgleish has tutorials on her Contextures site:
