Dynamic new table from old table using drop-downs

Hello,
I don't have much (read any) real VBA experience. So I can copy and paste code and even start to make sense of it, but I can't create it myself.

I have a table of employee data that ranges by month from 2014 through 2016. It also includes teams, unique identifiers, and such.

I have two drop-downs on a separate worksheet that select Month and Year. I'd like to be able to have those drop-downs dynamically filter the table. That's step one. Can someone please help me?

Step two is then to create separate lists (or tables) from the filtered original table to show team members. So for example, if I selected December 2015 in the drop-down boxes, I would want the original table to filter for only those two variables (December and 2015), and I also want separate tables to show the members of Team 1, Team 2, and Team 3. How do I do this?

Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it!

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Have you thought of using Pivot Tables instead? If you have Excel 2010+ you can add Slicers for Month, Year & Team, otherwise you'll want to put them in the pivot table Filter field.

Hi Smitty,

Thanks for your reply! I have thought of this, but users of my information are stuck with Excel 2007, and I need specific individuals listed rather than sums of individuals within teams. I've been trying to create a secondary table and then index-match functions to pull out unique ID's by team, but that's not working right since I'm pretty sure my criteria aren't controlling for the specific behaviors of the index-match process. Is there another way?

Thanks again!
