Hello all,
I am trying to figure out the best way to create a dashboard that will allow me to find the best flights to book.
I have the following raw data:

Ideally I would have the dashboard look something like this, where when I input my preferred date to Leave Dallas and Return to Dallas (possibly from a drop down with data validation rules if that makes it easier), then the "Departing Flight", "Returning Flight", and "Total Price" columns will either:
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Leaving Dallas?[/TD]
[TD]Return to Dallas?[/TD]
[TD]Departing Flight[/TD]
[TD]Returning Flight[/TD]
[TD]Total Price[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]09/28[/TD]
[TD]10/01[/TD]
[TD]WN1903[/TD]
[TD]UA784[/TD]
[TD]$233[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
If there is a better way to display this data that I haven't thought of, or an easier way to generate what I am asking for that you can think then please let me know -- I'm open to any and all ideas! The main thing I am looking for is the cheapest round trip -- timing, airports, and airlines are all secondary criteria.
Thank you in advance to anyone that can help!

- Automatically fill with the least expensive flights, with the Total Price calculated
- Show me what options I have for both Departing Flights and Returning Flights (like a VLOOKUP) and then based off of which flights I choose the Total Price would be calculated
