Okay, so here goes. I'm trying to find out how to setup worksheet that can source data from a list data base of information.
Wanting to make it easy for others to make two selections from seperate drop-down lists, then based on those selections, return the value in the table of values. My table below is just a sample, based on what I want to acheive without copying sensitive data. So what I want to do is have page with the following:
Month...............Type of Soda..............Consumed
(1st drop-list)....(2nd drop-list)............"Returned Value"
Then the table below could be on the same page (but hidden), or on a another page. My thought is the user picks from the first drop down list and selects the month (in this case the choices should be January, February, or March - 3 lines only). Then once selected when they pick from the second drop down list the choices are itemized based on the corresponding month selected in the first (so if January picked, the second list only shows sodas listed in January). After making a selection from both lists, the value is returned from the combined line values. So I if picked "February" and "Pepup", it would return a value of 910. Hope that makes sense.
Type of Soda.........Month........Consumed
Pepup..................January......946
Splash.................January......715
Diet Splash...........January.....506
Pepup..................February....910
Diet Pepup...........February.....894
Diet Splash..........February......276
Pepup..................March.........840
Diet Pepup...........March.........442
Splash.................March.........109
Diet Splash...........March.........263
I know how to make drop down lists, and simple things. But I figure I need a formula or something to set the parameters of how to source the information i'm looking for. any help is appreciated. Thanks.
