Hi,
I want to use the value of a drop down box (already setup) to produce a list of identifiers from another sheet.
In the 2 screenshots, the yellow box of the timeline tab will be a drop down box, this will be the responsible units.
I want to select a responsible unit and all the ID names associated that unit is responsible for will automatically fill in in column B.

Thank you in advance,

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Maybe something like
Excel Formula:
=FILTER(Sheet1!A2:C1000, Sheet1!Z2:Z1000=A5)

Just put it in one cell, and clear all the other cells.

Hi again Fluff,
So I removed the cells with other info and the spill worked perfectly.
However, I only want to return one result not all the other data associated with the responsible unit. Only the ID

Just change the ranges to suit.

I got it, I just told it to search the one column and it is doing what I want.

Thank you once again for your help.

Hi Fluff,
I want to do a bit more with this. I've made the yellow box selectable for different options. Any of the options will return the results associated with the selected option.

If I make an option for "All" what can I do to return all results from the index?
