    Preset filter combination based on client

    Hello there,

    I know my way around excel more or less.
    I have made a table of all parts we sell in the company. It uses many items and has many columns and rows (price size etc...).
    I used filters in the table so as to remove the parts we dont need and leave the parts we need according to the client.
    I have made another table with all the clients we have. I made a drop down list that points to each client.

    let's say client 1 buys items 3 5 and 6.
    client 2 buys items 37 43 and 67.
    client 3 buys items 7 55 and 91.

    How do i make the drop down list point to the list of items of the client?
    For example when i choose client 1 in drop down list, i want items 3 5 and 6 to be ticked in the filter only. (I want it saved as template to re-use for all clients).
    I thought about using =nameofclientindropdownlist in the last column of the filtered table, but the value only shows 0. Apparently formulas dont work on filtered cells. If the formula had worked, then it would only tick the client in the formula (thats what i was trying to do)

    Thanks!

    The orange table is just a list of customer and the drop down beneath it contains the name of the customers linked by using Vlookup
    I want the parts of the black table to be filtered according to the client in dropdown. Keep in mind that an item can be bought by many clients so i cant use filtering in clients and add it as a last column.

    Hello Robotboy94 and Welcome to Excel Forum.
    I am not sure that I can give you a solution, or even that one exists, however it would be easier for someone to help if you would upload the spreadsheet from which the screenshots in post#2 were taken.
    I am assuming that the bottom screen shot shows your desired results. If that isn't the case then please manually mock up what you wold like a filtered table to display.
    To upload a sample workbook click on the GO ADVANCED button below the Quick Reply window and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.
    Let us know if you have any questions.
    Consider taking the time to add to the reputation of everybody that has taken the time to respond to your query.
