I have a table which has product names in column A (some products are listed multiple times) and event related information for that product in columns B and C. On a different tab I want to be able to use a dropdown and when a product is selected it will search that entire table and return all of the instances when the name in the dropdown matches the name in the table. Is this possible? I was thinking a VLOOKUP would work but not in cases where there are multiple entries for certain product names. Hope this makes sense. I can send screenshots if needed for further clarity.
