I'm Ok at Excel but I need to have a way to create an easy way to look up data with maybe keywords ie; Widget 123 and it would return several items about widget 123 such as how much it cost. Where to find it, and how to operate it. Is this even a possibility in Excel?:confused:

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple

Need to know what you are looking up?

Are these lookup values?

Caddx NX8E
Napco 850
DSC 832

Do you have this information for each lookup value?

Arm/Disarm blah blah blah blah blah ppppppppppppppppppp
Bypass blah blah blah blah blah ppppppppppppppppppp
Reset blah blah blah blah blah ppppppppppppppppppp
Chime blah blah blah blah blah ppppppppppppppppppp
Trouble blah blah blah blah blah ppppppppppppppppppp




Also you were talking about price?

We need to know how your pages are setup to give you proper information.
