Hello,
I am pretty new to using Excel in this way, but I have built a sheet that we use to enter in some basic info and the sheet returns values in a specific format. I am having issues getting a table and named ranges to work correctly.
What I am trying to accomplish is this.
I have a table where all the values are stored. Depending on the type of mux this job requires, the values are different. Some of the muxes have the same channels, but each configuration is slightly different.
I have a drop down that we pick the type of mux we are using. This is the same name as the named ranges on the mux table. From there, I create a dropdown list (using INDIRECT) to display the channels that are available on that mux. Here is where the problem happens.
There is a FORWARD (FWD) channel and a RETURN (RTN) channel that are paired together. Some of the FWD channels have different RTN channels depending on the mux that is selected for the job. I am currently using VLOOKUP to get the RTN value. But it grabs the first instance of the FWD channel.
How do I set up my formula to grab the corresponding value to the channel that was selected? I have been trying to figure out if I grab value that is in Row 40, how to do get the values to the right of that row. I haven't had any luck figuring this out. I've linked my file on here so you can see what the MUX table looks like and how the drop down lists work.
Thanks for any assistance on this project.
