Hi,
I have been racking my brain with this for days now trying different things but keep ending up with circular references when I think I am close - I do not think there is anyway to do this without VBA if it is even possible with VBA as I haven't found anything close in searching.
In the first sheet I have a list of product family names that repeat up to 50 times in rows but each row has a unique code next to the family name in another column. This goes on for about 2000 rows.
IE:
Houses | 5656
Houses | 6581
Houses | 6568
Houses | 7878
Houses | 9654
Trucks |6655
Trucks | 5656
Trucks | 6363
Trucks | 2236
On another sheet I would like to be able to type a family name in column A row 1 and in column B row 1 have all up to 50 unique codes for that family name returned (there isn't always the same number of entries).
IE:
Houses |5656
...........| 6581
...........| 6568
...........| 7878
Then if I type another family name in column A row 2 have all of those unique codes that match to the family return under the last column B returned value.
IE:
Houses |5656
Trucks | 6581
..........| 6568
..........| 7878
..........| 6655
..........| 5656
..........| 6363
..........| 2236
I would need to enter up to about 30 max family names in column A to return up to 1500 values. The intention is that I would have 30 drop down boxes in column A and that would build my list of codes which would then lookup values for them out of a data pool.
Is this even possible without advance VBA?
Thank-you a ton for any advice!!
