Hi all.

Have a question,

Is it possible to "load" an excel table so it expands based on a filter criteria from another dataset via a lookup?

So imagine I have source data set up as follows:
Data SourceEMPLOYEESales Value ASales Value B
DS_1123456100125
DS_1123457150300
DS_2123456200250
DS_2654322250300

<tbody>
</tbody>


I than have another table which is looking up & comparing that data in various permutations (pivot tables don't work for this)

So the below is what I am trying to achieve, I want to set the base table population (automatically) by selecting my data set - in this case A, so Employee 654322 is not on the list. Then I want to be selective in looking up data Value variants, so in this case I've selected Value A & B from DS_1 & Value B from DS_2

- pulling all that in by index match against the source data.

So in the first column If I selected DS_2 I want to display 123456 & 654322 as the base lookups the table would adjust accordingly.
DS_1DS_1DS_1DS_2
EmployeeValue AValue BValue B
123456100125250
123457150300

<tbody>
</tbody>

Hope that makes sense!
Any expert opinion greatly appreciated in advance.
thanks.
Stu
