    data updating based on values on another worksheet

    Hey guys, im using index on this waorksheet..
    SAMPLE FILE.xlsx

    what I want is to automatically "Data breakdown" sheet when I enter value on "Summary" worksheet in "Kind" part.
    But what happens is that my formula only finds the first "Kind" in the "Data" worksheet.

    Any idea how to fix this?? thanks

    Here, try this:

    I've added first column with row number so each cell don't need calculate that value again but just take it from there.
    It's possible to have solution iwthout that column but this is better approach.

    Re: data updating based on values on another worksheet

    It's an array formula.

    It must be confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER.
    You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around your formula.
    If you do not CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will get an error or a clearly incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.

    You can not enter those brackets manually.

    I would really suggest you to go with first solution.
    Then you can easier control multiple criteria and rest of the table (column B onwards) is always same formula.

    Also, why don't you just put filter in first row then you can filter out by multiple criteria in multiple columns.

    well filtering is always the easy way. however my data consists of almost 1 million rows. even if i filter it, the bulk of all the data in the workbook remains. that's why im looking for a way top only include in the worksheet only those who passes all the criterias. then ill just have to move the data sheet in another workbook. right??

    anyway, thanks for the help.. its working.. but one problem though, the formula itself seems to make my worksheet unresponsive.

    Yes.
    And you will do that only once.
    In second approach same thing is calculated in every column so on million of data it make it slow.
