Default Lookup Help

Hi all! I can't seem to get a proper answer or help for a problem I
have with Excel. I'll try to paint a better picture about what I need
and hopefully can get some VBA help (or simpler.)

In Cell B2 I have a drop down list which contains names of our
brokers.
In Cell C2 I have a drop down list describing types of deals (values
are C, A, X, or T)

Once the user chooses the name and type of deal, they would press a
button which would then take the values in B2 and C2 together and find
matches in another sheet which contains 3 columns worth of data: Name,
Type of Deal, and Deal Number. There will never be 0 deal numbers or
more than 8 answers for any given Criteria (e.g. If I select Tom and
C, the resulting answer will have between 1 and 8 different Deal
Numbers.)

Once Excel or VBA finds these deal numbers, they need to be "placed"
or copied into cells B17 all the way down to B24 (if there are 8 deals
numbers.) So, if there are 2 deal numbers corresponding to Tom and C,
Excel will copy both deal numbers and paste them into B17 and B18.

I'm not sure if VLOOKUP or HLOOKUP or INDEX - MATCH function can do
this but if possible, please let me know.

Thank you in advance for your help!
