Simple Catalog selection

[dremsen]

I work for a small marine specimens supply organization. I have a two worksheet file. The first sheet contains an example of our catalog listings. It allows a user to request an item from the list by inputting the number of specimens for a particular item. A simple calculation provides a total.

I would like the second sheet to present a summary of the items selected. So if I have a catalog of 200 items and a user wants 2 of Item 10 and 1 or Item 199, there are two rows in this second sheet with the selected information.

I've been trying various formula combinations for two days. The closest I've come is based on

I attach a example file. It's probably simple but I'm afraid this isn't my strength.

with thanks,

See attached file. I've made use of column A in both sheets as a helper column, but these could be hidden if you don't want your users to see them. There are formulae also in the order summary on the second sheet.

Hope this helps.

Pete, Thank you so much. It looks like a solution. I'm happy to acknowledge you on the spreadsheet and provide a link, etc. if you like. I'll be circulating the final file to customers.

best,
David
