Good afternoon! I'm still very very new to VBA and user forms in Excel so I'm hoping to get some help. I'd like to create a user form that would allow for the selection of 2 independent defined variables and produce all possible results. Example: I have a remote that can use multiple battery types. I want to select a technology type ("Remote" in this case), a number of hours I'd like the remote to last, and click a button to display all battery options that will satisfy my requirements. Below is my chart. I would greatly appreciate any help! Thank you!

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.

So here is what I've done. First off, I used PowerQuery to transform your table into a proper data set. The following M code can be used for the transformations.

Code: 
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    TypeI = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}, {"CR123", type any}, {"Column2", type any}, {"Column3", type any}, {"AA", type any}, {"Column4", type any}, {"AAA Lithium", type any}, {"Column5", type any}, {"Column6", type any}, {"AA Lithium", type any}, {"Column7", type any}, {"Column8", type any}}),
    Demote = Table.DemoteHeaders(TypeI),
    TypeII = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Demote,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type any}, {"Column3", type any}, {"Column4", type any}, {"Column5", type any}, {"Column6", type any}, {"Column7", type any}, {"Column8", type any}, {"Column9", type any}, {"Column10", type any}, {"Column11", type any}, {"Column12", type any}}),
    Transposed = Table.Transpose(TypeII),
    AddedCustom = Table.AddColumn(Transposed, "Custom", each if Text.Contains([Column1],"Column") then null else [Column1]),
    FilledDown = Table.FillDown(AddedCustom,{"Custom"}),
    RemovedColumns = Table.RemoveColumns(FilledDown,{"Column1"}),
    ReorderedColumns = Table.ReorderColumns(RemovedColumns,{"Custom", "Column2", "Column3", "Column4", "Column5"}),
    ReplacedValue = Table.ReplaceValue(ReorderedColumns,null,"Cell",Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Column2"}),
    PromotedHeaders = Table.PromoteHeaders(ReplacedValue, [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
    TypeIII = Table.TransformColumnTypes(PromotedHeaders,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Cell", type text}, {"Watch", Int64.Type}, {"Remote", Int64.Type}, {"Calculator", Int64.Type}}),
    Unpivot = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(TypeIII, {"Column1", "Watch", "Remote", "Calculator"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    RemovedColumnsII = Table.RemoveColumns(Unpivot,{"Attribute"}),
    ReorderedColumnsII = Table.ReorderColumns(RemovedColumnsII,{"Watch", "Remote", "Calculator", "Column1", "Value"}),
    UnpivotedII = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(ReorderedColumnsII, {"Column1", "Value"}, "Attribute", "Value.1"),
    ReorderedColumnsIII = Table.ReorderColumns(UnpivotedII,{"Attribute", "Column1", "Value", "Value.1"}),
    RenamedColumns = Table.RenameColumns(ReorderedColumnsIII,{{"Attribute", "Item"}, {"Column1", "Battery"}, {"Value", "Cell"}, {"Value.1", "Life"}})
in
    RenamedColumns

You will need to name the query 'Raw', because that name will be referenced in the VBA later on. It will now look like this.

I loaded this transformed table to a new worksheet 'Worksheet2'.

Then I made a UserForm with a combobox for watch, calc, remote. 2 textboxes for battery life. 1 for the low hours and 1 for the high. So, for example, I select Calculator from the combobox. Then say I want batteries that will last from 200-400 hours, 200 will go in textbox1, 400 will go in textbox2.

Then I have a button. The button code will filter the transformed table to show the data that matches the criteria from the combobox and textboxes.

The code for the UserForm Initialize Event:
Code: 
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim AL As Object: Set AL = CreateObject("System.Collections.ArrayList")
Dim AR() As Variant: AR = Sheets("Sheet2").ListObjects("Raw").DataBodyRange.Value
Dim Product() As Variant


For i = LBound(AR) To UBound(AR)
    If Not AL.contains(AR(i, 1)) Then AL.Add AR(i, 1)
Next i


Me.ComboBox1.List = AL.toarray
End Sub

The code for the command button:
Code: 
Dim Product As String: Product = Me.ComboBox1.Value
Dim tFrom As Single: tFrom = Me.TextBox1.Value
Dim tTo As Single: tTo = Me.TextBox2.Value
Dim LO As ListObject: Set LO = Sheets("Sheet2").ListObjects("Raw")
Dim AR() As Variant


LO.Range.AutoFilter 1, Product, xlAnd
LO.Range.AutoFilter 4, ">=100", xlAnd, "<=190"

small change

Code: 
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()Dim Product As String: Product = Me.ComboBox1.Value
Dim tFrom As Single: tFrom = Me.TextBox1.Value
Dim tTo As Single: tTo = Me.TextBox2.Value
Dim LO As ListObject: Set LO = Sheets("Sheet2").ListObjects("Raw")
Dim AR() As Variant


LO.Range.AutoFilter 1, Product, xlAnd
[COLOR=#0000ff][B]LO.Range.AutoFilter 4, ">=" & tFrom, xlAnd, "<=" & tTo[/B][/COLOR]


End Sub

Cleaned up the M code a bit too. Cut down the steps by a third.

Code: 
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    Demote = Table.DemoteHeaders(Source),
    Transposed = Table.Transpose(Demote),
    AddedCustom = Table.AddColumn(Transposed, "Custom", each if Text.Contains([Column1],"Column") then null else [Column1]),
    FilledDown = Table.FillDown(AddedCustom,{"Custom"}),
    RemovedColumns = Table.RemoveColumns(FilledDown,{"Column1"}),
    ReplacedValue = Table.ReplaceValue(RemovedColumns,null,"Cell",Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Column2"}),
    PromotedHeaders = Table.PromoteHeaders(ReplacedValue, [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
    Unpivot = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(PromotedHeaders, {"Column5", "Cell"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    Rename = Table.RenameColumns(Unpivot,{{"Column5", "Battery"}, {"Value", "Life"}, {"Attribute", "Item"}}),
    Reorder = Table.ReorderColumns(Rename,{"Item", "Battery", "Cell", "Life"}),
    Sort = Table.Sort(Reorder,{{"Item", Order.Descending}, {"Battery", Order.Ascending}, {"Life", Order.Ascending}})
in
    Sort
