Need help please. Whats the best way to accomplish this in Excel

[jtavara18]

Hi,

I'm new here and hope someone can help me find a good solution.

I have a large spreadsheet of data with 3 columns (Name, info1, info2).
I would like to be able to use this data to create a new workbook/worksheet by selecting only the names I want to use.

So in the new worksheet, in the first column, i'd like to be able to look for a name (by autocomplete or list or something) and then have info2 and info3 autofill from the name i selected.

I appreciate any help you may provide. Thank you in advance!

Hi
Please see demo Workbook attached.
There two sheets, New Sheet is where you make a selection in Col A and then the relevant data from Info1 and Info 2 is populated in Columns B and C.
The second sheet is the Source Data.
You will need to modify the formulas to suit the amount of data you will be working with.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
Tony
