    Unhappy Auto Updating Excel Formula (2016)

    I am trying to create an excel spreadsheet that allows me to update students' names on the list of a seminar date. Here is what I want to do:

    Sheet 1 = a master list of students with Column A "Student Name", Column B "Seminar Date"

    Sheet 2 = the list for the seminar that occurs on 05/18/2017.

    I want a formula that allows me to automatically update the list on Sheet 2. Every time, I type in "05/18/2017", on the "Seminar Date" column of Sheet 1, I would like that students' name to be automatically added to the list on Sheet 2.

    Basically I want a formula that auto updates a list without needing to have that formula copied into each cell of the list...

    I have done this in google sheets before using a query formula that allows for this sort of thing. For example, =Query(Sheet1!A2:B100, "select A where day B='18'",1)

    How can I do this in Excel???

    I know that there are alternatives to this but I need a formula that does exactly that (for reasons that are too complicated to explain in this post).

    Re: Auto Updating Excel Formula (2016)

    Hello mimiartsy, You have posted in a forum that is used for introductions, not the asking/answering of questions. In order to have your question looked at/answered, you will need to post in another forum on this site, I would suggest Excel General as the solution may involve VBA (since you say that you do not want a formula to populate each cell in the column that will list the names on sheet 2). I would also suggest that you upload a sample file that shows the setup of sheet 1 and your expected results, manually input, for sheet 2.
    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.
