Database Search Function
I am having trouble coming up with the correct function coeding for
this Excel database. I know I would need to use IF, VLOOKUP, INDEX and ROW. But in what order and how I just cant seem to get it. When you open the file you will see the sheet called Search and then there is another sheet (Data) where I have all the info. I would like to type in the blanks what I am looking for and it will search threw the data and pull all the ones with the criteria's I need and show them under Result. Thank you in advance. BR, John Here is the File. http://www.mediafire.com/?1xbte8mt9w3 |

Database Search Function
Hi
Take a look at Advanced Filter, extracting data to another sheet. Debra Dalgleish has some examples, and some code to automate the procedure. http://www.contextures.com/xladvfilter01.html#ExtractWs -- Regards Roger Govier "FinlandGuy" wrote in message ...

The reason for doing it this way is because different people are going
to use it and I have to make it as simple as possible. It needs to be simple to update so everyone can easily add the data. I have tried it with the advance filter and it has not worked as I wanted it to. They need the GUI to show them what to do. I guess im trying to say that I need this idiot proof. BR, John |
