Hi,

I apologise in advance for my ignorance but I have been trying to get this to work for hours now and i am begging you to help before I check the flight capability of my laptop!

I have a tab called "EXPORT" which has the following details listed.

In an additional tab called "EMAIL", I am hoping to be able to enter a department in cell A1 which would then create a list of all rows with that department in column L of the 'EXPORT' tab as shown below:

The problem is the reverse lookup AND that any one department can be included in column L

'EXPORT': I don't expect anymore than 40 rows of data and I cant change the column order
'EMAIL': Anything can be changed in this tab except the fact I need the information of all 4 headers. It can be in any order and I wouldn't expect a result of anymore than 20 rows.

Apologies again for my very basic knowledge of formula and I would thank-you in advance for your assistance.

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
You could actually make the formulas much simpler & reduce the amount of calculations required if you used a helper column (which could be hidden after entering its formulas if you want)
