    Post Creating User Defined Lists from a Larger Database

    Hello All,

    I'm hoping that someone can help me figure out the error of my ways. The attached example spreadsheet will help show what I am trying to achieve. The idea is to have a Database sheet (in this example Sheet1) and a List Compilation Page (in this example Sheet2). By changing only the highlighted cells in Sheet2 you will compile a list of the selected information.

    Yes, this can all be done using the sort functions, but I am dealing with a much larger database in reality and need to be able to make custom lists very quickly and keep the operation very simple for the end user.

    My current problem is with the Module code which searches for the "Return Type" in the "Search By" (defined in C1 and C2 on Sheet2) column and then returns the corresponding "Unique Identifier" from column A in Sheet1.

    I clearly have my VBA trainer wheels on, so I would appreciate any suggestions/advise.

    Thanks


    The problem code is:

    Hmmm,

    Looking over the code and made some modifications to have the data from sheet1 copied to sheet2.

    What is the purpose of sheet Working?

    Hi,

    The attached example is a simplified version of my actual sheet. In the actual "working" sheet I have some code to create a list of Info A, B,C and D values without duplicates. This is then used for the drop down menus in "Sheet2". The idea is to make the "Working" sheet hidden so the end user doesn't see the mechanics.

    Hello cplmckenzie,

    Sorry for the delay. I was referring to the attachment in the original post. "Test Sheet.xlsm" on the 30th of Sep.
