High-level, I'm trying to bring in non-blank cells for a given product selected from a drop-down menu.
I have multiple "category tabs"--cakes, cookies and main dishes. I have created 2 drop-down menus: 1 for the tab name and one for the recipes within each tab.
Each tab is set-up similar to the following:
<tbody>
</tbody>
What I'm hoping to do (without using VBA if possible) is bring in the ingredients in one column and the quantity in the other but only for the non-blank cells. So if cakes and carrot were selected, the output would look like this:
<tbody>
</tbody>
Sorry if I've given too much detail--this is my first post to mrexcel.com.
Thanks in advance for your help. I really appreciate it.
