Pulling multiple sets of data from one initial set

[only1rob]

Hi guys

Ive been smashing my head against a wall on this for sometime now and was hoping someone could help me out?

I have two sheets, one sheet contains multiple columns of data (The sheet is called 'DATA').
The first two columns are A = ID number, B = Line number, looking like this:

ID Line # Title Person
1001 1 Title A Bob
1002 1 Title B Mark
1003 1 Title C Mary
1003 2 Title C2 Mary
1003 3 Title C3 Jack
1003 4 Title C4 Jack
1004 1 Title D Bill

On the second sheet (Which is a kind of dashboard, called 'DASHBOARD'), the idea is you enter an ID number, into a cell, then it checks the ID number on the data sheet, and displays all columns with that ID number, and all the lines that have the same ID number, the result is it should look like:

Enter ID: 1003

ID Line # Title Person
1003 1 Title C Mary
1003 2 Title C2 Mary
1003 3 Title C3 Jack
1003 4 Title C4 Jack


Initially I tried VLOOKUP, but of course you can only do one line, it wont allow multiple values for the same initial value.

I found a few solutions that kind of fit on the forum, but nothing that really works for me.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks

Rob.

the easiest would be a VBA solution - would you mind?

You could also use advanced filter

Not sure on the VBA, the advanced filter, would probably be a no unfortunately. (Edit - The advanced filter may work on second thought, I will have a look at it more indepth, thanks for the suggestion)

The idea with this sheet, is to allow a number of fairly excel naive coworkers the ability to paste their data set into the DATA sheet, and then enter the ID number and print the resulting data. This should allow them to quickly enter only the ID numbers and print the multiple line items quickly and efficiently one ID group to a page.

At least, thats the idea, I have faith in them to mess it up though,...

Hi Rob,

Have you much experience with a pivot table?

IMO a pivot table sounds like the proper method

Hi Haseeb

This works great, thank you!

One minor thing is that entering a total count of more than the number of lines, returns #NUM errors for all other cells. Where in the array and worksheet formulas would I insert an ISERROR functon to remove the errors?

Again, any help is really appreciated

Thanks!

Rob.

I am sorry. In B2 enter =COUNTIF(Data!A:A,B1). This will count for B1 value in Data!A:A.

A5:.... formula will be stopped when the count reached.
