I'm new to the VBA world so I am unsure of even where to start with this one. What I have is a table with names and how far along those people are in there training in different areas. What I want to do is search that table for everyone who is training/basic in a certain area and copy their names down to another table which will populate data based on that name from a separate sheet. My first thought was to do some sort of Vlookup or index match loop to search the table but I can't seem to figure it out.

This is an example what the first table looks like where the data will be pulled from...
[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Name[/TD]
[TD]Writing[/TD]
[TD]Math[/TD]
[TD]History[/TD]
[TD]Science[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Joe[/TD]
[TD]Training[/TD]

[TD]Training[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Sara[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]Basic[/TD]
[TD]Proficient[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

This is what I want the other table to look like...
[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Name[/TD]
[TD]Area[/TD]
[TD]Current Level[/TD]
[TD]Next Level[/TD]
[TD]Completion Date[/TD]
[TD]Comments[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Joe[/TD]
[TD]Writing[/TD]
[TD]Training[/TD]
[TD]Basic[/TD]
[TD]Feb-19[/TD]
[TD]xyz[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Mary[/TD]
[TD]Science[/TD]
[TD]Training[/TD]
[TD]Basic[/TD]
[TD]Aug-20[/TD]
[TD]qrs[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Sara[/TD]
[TD]History[/TD]
[TD]Basic[/TD]
[TD]Proficient[/TD]
[TD]Dec-18[/TD]
[TD]abc[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!!
 

Excel Facts

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
Your first table needs to be "Unpivoted", which is simplified through "Get and Transform"
Then you want to do VLOOKUP from another table, which would be best done with a connection in the Data Model.
The Data model holds your queries, data connections and data manipulations and feeds a Table and/or a Pivot Table.

However, Get and Transform is only included in Excel 2016. Data Model can be found in 2013 but the Un-pivoting is the trick then.
