Attempting to Perform a Query with Multiple Outputs based on Lookup of Inputs

Hello,

I currently have a large amount of information in a sheet named "Code Requirements Database". In column A I have a code reference, in column B I have a section of the code, in column C I have the code requirement, and then in column D I have the required frequency. In column E I have the Component that the code requirement applies to, followed by the subsystem that the component applies to in column F, followed by the system type in column G.

In "Sheet 2" I have setup dynamic dropdowns such that I select a System in cell "B2" followed by a Subsystem (related to the input in "B2") in "C2" followed by a specific component in "D2" (related to the input in "C2").

I'd like to perform a macro such that the inputs in "Sheet 2" in cells B2, C2, and D2 are queried against the "Code Requirements Database" related cells in column G, F, and E. All TRUE values will then return the data in that row (r) of the "Code Requirements Database" such that "Sheet 2" cell "E2" will have the value of "Code Requirements Database" cell "Ar", "Sheet 2" cell "F2" will have the value of "Code Requirements Database" cell "Br", etc. until the values from rows A,B,C,D of "Code Requirements Database" are copied and pasted to "Sheet 2" cells E,F,G,H.

To make matters more complicated, the query will return multiple TRUE values and I would like all of the TRUE values to be returned at once vertically such that the second related code requirement will be pasted into "Sheet 2" row 3, third requirement will be pasted to row 4, until there are no more related TRUE responses from the query. I have attempted an ARRAY but the database is much too large for this to be convenient.

Thanks for the help!

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
hi, Suggest you google for information on paramaterised queries in Excel. Requires no formulas & no VBA and is fine for large datasets. regards, Fazza
