Finding Multiple entries for a name
Hi All,
I have a little problem that am sure can be fixed by the many talented people in this newsgroup: I have a list in Excel with 15 columns (fields) and many rows of data - this is in a sheet titled "Deals." I've created another sheet which is supposed to look up names from column A in "Deals" and combined with anothr criteria ("Type" - which corresponds to column B in "Deals" and has 4 different types: C, A, X, or T) Based on the combo chosen, I want an output of all deals matching the criteria - there will never be more than 8 deals with that combo. An example would work best: Let's say I need to look up "Tom" and "C" from the "Deals" worksheet - once I select the two criteria (drop down arrows are already in place in cells A2 and A3, respectively), I want all data from all rows with "Tom" and "C" in them to appear in rows 5 thru 12 (if applicable) and show all 20 columns. If this is something I can achieve via VBA, please help! Thanks in advance... |

Maybe SumProduct since you are dealing with multiple criteria. Have a look in the help files for these functions and see if they will suffice. |

Finding Multiple entries for a name
It sounds to me like you're trying to reinvent data|filter|autofilter.
You could select your range (headers in row 1), then apply data|Filter|autofilter. Then use the dropdown in each of the header row to show/hide what you want. The data won't move up to the other rows, but they will be the ones visible.
