i currently have a league table on a spreadsheet. a drop down lets you change certain things that will show in the league table (sales type, month etc)
the league table is working fine and automatically refreshes when the drop downs are changed. I then have a filter just to the right of the league tables (that i will hide) which puts a 1 in for valid sales based on the drop downs and a 0 for invalid.

the issue i am having is getting this filter to automatically apply when the drop downs are applied. with each option on the drop down the amount of people in the league table could change. so if i have one of the drop downs selected that shows 50 people, when i change the drop down to another option that only shows 30 people i am left with 20 blank cells in the league table. similarly if i do it the opposite way it will only show the first 30 people and the other 20 will remain hidden unless i manually apply the filter.

Is there a way that i can have this filter automatically update when a drop down option is changed?

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
up date on this, i have been given VBA codes to put in but these then mess around with the drop downs. so i have used the below, but when i then change the drop down it doesnt update the table with the data i need.

<code class="vb keyword" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 12px;">Private</code> <code class="vb keyword" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 12px;">Sub</code> <code class="vb plain" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 12px;">Worksheet_Change(</code><code class="vb keyword" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 12px;">ByVal</code> <code class="vb plain" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 12px;">Target </code><code class="vb keyword" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 12px;">As</code> <code class="vb plain" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 12px;">Range)</code>
