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:
<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.
<tbody>
</tbody>
Hope that makes sense!
Any expert opinion greatly appreciated in advance.
thanks.
Stu
