Ok, I am working on a sheet for my wife. What is needed is a form for medical kind of stuff. So I will give my best description but I have never done anything quite like this before.
So I started with making a table for this project, it included headers for "common name, latin name, part used, biochemical actions, safety issues, dosage" and then a long list of data under that. I want to be able to retain the ability of sorting like the table allows for names, but the part i cant figure out how to do is:
The biochemical actions coulm will contain several entries for each item on the list. How can you sort each action when there are mutiple? for example
cell a2="aloe"
cell a5="whatever aloe does #1, something else it does #2"
Then if I select the drop down list from Biochemical actions, I get select all or (aloe#1, aloe#2) as a joint option, I cant select just one item.
This is not the only spot I will need this ability either, she would like to be able to reverse look up entries, like pick a condition and things pertaining to that would come up.
So hopefuly I have explained this well enough...
If it has to be done on different sheets that would work just fine as long as the data could be updated from one location.
Guide me oh wise excel masters
