I'm currently working on a project where I need to create a drop-down list which should automatically populate the tables below. I'll straight away jump to the example for better understanding.
So the Sheet looks like this.
So the data is like

I think the table is self-explanatory. I have the data for each fruit that goes to which plate. So if I choose plate 5 from the dropdown list, I should get Apple, Orange, Pineapple, Mango and Berries in the table below.
Please help me with how to achieve this. Thank you in advance.

Are the values in col A as you have shown, or are they like you have in A1 with the leading 0 on the number?

Excel Facts

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Are the values in col A as you have shown, or are they like you have in A1 with the leading 0 on the number?
Hi. It can be without the leading 0 (Like Sector 1, Sector 2). The zero is not necessary though.
Thank you.

Yes but what exactly are the values in col A, do they have the leading 0?
Also are you happy filtering the data to a different location?

The data in column A is the sectors assigned for the person. As you see I have mentioned sector 4, and sector 8 for person 2. That means person 2 is working in sectors 2 and 8. And the data in column A doesn't have leading zero. So person 2 should reflect when I choose sector 4 and also when choose sector 8.
The problem I faced when filtering out to new location is, I can't edit the data. I used tried Query function and array formulas., in both cases, I was getting error when I try to edit data.

So basically, I should be able to do the following.
1. Select the sector from dropdown in A1 which auto populates the person working in sector 1 down the list.
2. Edit the target for each date.

Thank you.

You didn't answer this question.
Yeah. Filtering to a new location is not a problem. But if I add the target in filtered data., the same should reflect on the main page. The purpose of the sheet is to enter and store the daily targets sector-wise.

In that case you could use
Excel Formula:
=FILTER(A3:L19,isnumber(search(A1&",",A3:A19&",")))

Hai. Thank you for the formula. It does filter the data to a new location. But as I told you before. I couldn't add data to the filtered results. It gives me the following error.

Code:
Array result was not expanded because it would overwrite data

No you cannot do that, but there was no mention of that in your op.

Hai I explained in this message that I need to edit the data.

Code:
The data in column A is the sectors assigned for the person. As you see I have mentioned sector 4, and sector 8 for person 2. That means person 2 is working in sectors 2 and 8.

2. Edit the target for each date.

Thank you.

Is there any other workaround to do this?
